Really, that is interesting, because I was told by someone that did
the switch with my exact drive (he had the same problem) that it does matter? Do you have experience with Seagate in switching the logic boards? Eagerly awaiting your reply.

Do you have experience with Seagate in switching the logic boards? Yes, I do. I wasn't sure if you wanted to swap PCBs or do a head transplant. For PCB swaps, the part number and firmware need to match. If you have the same part number but different FW, you can swap the ROM chips on the PCB.

In the sense that it's possible, it's not written in stone. Some HDA revisions only work with the logic boards designed for them, because of different components used on them. Also, Seagate have a habit of having specific firmwares for different capacities. Do you have experience with Seagate in switching the logic boards? Eagerly awaiting your reply. If you're looking for donor heads, the P/N doesn't have to match. But you would exchange the logic board with it and then you want the same firmware revision that is compatible with the one on the platters. There must be a good reason for the part number to be different for the same model/capacity. Odie |

Well a caveat for other trying this sort of thing. I bought a hard
drive, same P/N, same serial and same Firmware number - low and behold the circuit board was different, about 3/4 of the size of more old one. So, I will have to ask for pictures of the circuit board next time to assure I get the right one. I did try and swap this one and only got a single chirp - which was encouraging because it means the drive isn't dead - but it hung my system in the bios. I am thinking about using a software program, if the bios finally recognizes it, to retrieve the data. It does. In the sense that it's possible, it's not written in stone.
