Ok, so I have a Western Digital Portable Hard Drive, which I am fairly certain the circuit board is bad. Now, I know the surefire solution, is to transfer the firmware chips to a healthy donor circuit board. I can afford a firmware transfer, but I really want to avoid having to send my bad circuit board out of state. However, I have confirmed, that if I can find the exact same model with a same month release date, I can do a pcb swap without having to do a firmware chip transfer.
This is my drive:
P/N: WDBBEP0010BBK-01 S/N: WXD1A72J5661
Circuit Board Model Number: 2060-771814-001 REV A
The drive's release date was August 10, 2012.
I have made 2 attempts to order the correct model, (Amazon 1st attempt, Newegg 2nd attempt), but both times, the retarded sellers sent me the WRONG model (a 2014 My Passport Ultra). Needless to say, I know it will not be compatible. Still, I was upset enough having to ship back the first order, so I have decided to keep this My Passport Ultra. Despite NOT fulfilling my immediate need, I like the slimmer form factor, and I do need a fresh drive to transfer my retrieved files to.
So, can anyone PLEASE help me in one of 2 ways: 1) help me find the exact hard drive model with a same month release date, or 2) help me find my PCB with the firmware version I need.
This is the firmware number (I think): XTCZ05 X4GS
And, if possible, how can I make sure that a seller will send me the correct model?
