I wanna throw away that board since it is the main cause for this trauma. Soldering is not the problem for me, it's the visual: I would need to magnify that thing 50x cause it's that small and much 8x more circuits than yours (it's on a 2x2½ inch board) and then know what and where to solder (it's really not the same board order). I don't have a cam to show a pic and my scanner is setup on the PC that is running Darik's Boot'n'Nuke (DBAN) for a few more couple of days now. It's a WDC WD20EADS-00W (WD Caviar green) hard-drive setup on a different board and much smaller than the one you have. I'm glad I found this post and that you found a cure for that HP disease.īut mine is a 2TB simplesave.

P.p.s.: now you can solder again the pin number 6 and remove the wires.Ĭould someone of the ADMINISTRATORS write on the title of this 3ad the keyworld ?Īttachments WDSmartWare_VirtualCD_Manager_for_Windows_Web_Release-v1.0.8.3(2).zip (1.53 MiB) Downloaded 3292 times Apollo 1607E Firmware Updater v2.018-v2.019 (1.0.8.6).zip (4.02 MiB) Downloaded 5147 times P.s.:i think this task had 0,1% probability of success.
