PC-3000 Forum

Hi,

I have a IBM IC35L036UWD210 with a damaged PCB.
I swapped PCB by 2 others I have here with same P/N, and when I start the drive, spins, shows 0 mb of size and when I try to enter utility by reading SA drive power down.
Anyone had this problem already?

Thanks.

These drives can have their PCB swapped with the donor's but if the donor has the same firmware version. Usually NV-Ram is an 8-leg pin. PC-3000 SCSI has more description about it.

The second thing you can try is to use Hot swap method for this drive. It is described on 4.9 , 4.10 Chapters in the manual for PC-3000 SCSI manual.

Very often this family has scratched surface problem
