Hi,

on this case I have the ROM gone (power surge I guess)

it's mariner, so no ROM modules backup in SA
The donor ROM I have are too far for ROM recovery or data recovery

Can someone provide me ROM for this case ?

wd5000bmvv-11a1cs0
firmware probably 01.01A01
Date : 23 DEC 2009
DCM HHBTJBBB
S/N WXB0AC9S6346

Thanks

Precisions, firmware is close to 00140025. If I could fing a ROM of drive manufactured few days around, it will do the trick.

You can try a WXBOxxxx ROM, there are some in the HddSurgery FW database.

Yes, I have tried several of WXB0 roms from HddSurgery, without luck. I also try several WXB1, WXA and WXC...

How is the drive behaving with another WXB0xxxx ROM ?

Remains busy with WXB0 (640 Go BTW).
With a WXB1, drive spin up, get ready but kernel only, no ID and no Capacity.
If I run in normal mode, it doesn't detect SA SPT
