Hello,

You need to get terminal access and check heads reading and writing via terminal. Then check important sysfiles. Maybe you will need to upload loader

Did you need to swap 1 ROM chip or 2?

I thought so too.

my drive stopped spinning after it was imaging fine for a while. I remove the TVS and it was fine for a few minutes and then stopped spinning again.

I changed the PCB/rom and the drive now spins again but I get this FW Error and the drive now detects as 3.68GB.
