So, i have a WD scorpio blue with the following configurations:

MDL: WD5000BPVT-55HXZT2
DCM: HAOT2AB
DCX: RH21X61ZL
LBA: 976773168
PCB Board number: (REV A) 2060-771692-005

I accidentally damaged its PCB yesterday, and i'm trying to find a replacement PCB.

I saw that all i need is a PCB with the same board number, but this isn't true.

I have other two Scorpio Blue hard drives with PCB's with this same exact board number, but they aren't compatible with this one I have nor with each other (i tried and all they do is to start up, seek desperately, moving the head from end to end, and then shutdown). Their chips are different, their DCM's and DCX's are different too.

So, the question is:

How do i find a board suitable for my hard drive?

Is there anything i can make with the PCB of those other two hard drives to make them compatible, once the number is the same?

Here's the configuration of one of the other two, i'll edit and add the other as soon as i find it.

MDL: WD5000BPVT-22HXZT1
DCM: HHOTJHB
DCX: UH15X51Z5
LBA: Not informed on the hard drive
PCB Board number: (REV A) 2060-771692-005 (the exact same of the PCB i damaged).

Thanks for the help!

But do i really need to swap the BIOS chip? I'm not sure it still works
