Hello ZeBong,

Try to do PCB Swap from WDxxxxx-xxMSxx donor drive.
It can happen donor drive's pcb has different ROM version, in this case you have to rewrite it from patients PCB.

Before buying a donor, take the drive to cleanroom and check drive's platters for any traces of scratches. Also check Air filter for small mettalic scobs.If everything is clear you may procceed with head-swap. Heads donor should belong to same family and its capacity should be equal or greater to patients.

Please give us a reply if you were successful or not with this drive.
