I've swapped out my Hard drive a few months ago on computer with a new one, and i left the other hard drive lying around in a bag with all my saved data on, when it came too transferring the data the pc couldn't see the connected hard drive. I've bought a exact match PCB for the hard drive but that hasn't helped, I've put it down to PCB malfunction due to a big burn mark through the motor chip on the PCB. Now i read you need a firmware transfer for it to be compatible, now there is no ROM chip on this PCB to swap manually? And i cant find anywhere that offer services just for firmware transfer PCB to PCB. Need help please as this is my last attempt of rescuing 15years of data.

P.s I am in the UK

I understand, i was trying to do it cheaply as possible as financially i couldn't afford some of the prices they'd ask.. so i bought the exact PCB expecting to be able to take or send it somewhere within UK just to get the firmware transfer on it from one to the other?

My PCB must be of a older model as it doesn't have a ROM chip, it seems its internal built into the PCB in the memory chip i believe.. now i have no idea how to go about this. I wouldn't trust myself with it, is their anywhere within the UK that deals with firmware transfers from PCB to PCB? I can't find anything on Google, again thanks for your input thus far.

2061-701622-800 02P WD 1TB WD1001FALS-00J7B1 - Model etc, again I've exact match replacement PCB to this, just no way of getting firmware transferd.
