My WD 500GB SATA WD5000KS went out on me, stopped spinning. I need the data (no backups) and I don't want to spend 3k-4k for data recovery, if I don't have to. I tried finding an identical replacement drive to attempt a logic board swap, but only found 1 that is close, but not matching the DCM#. Apparently I need a WD5000KS-00MNB0 model with a DCM# close to HBHCAJAAB or the board swap wont work. The 1 I found does enable the drive to spin up, but BIOS now says hard drive error, and I can't access anything on it.(tried software data recovery to no avail) The board I found on eBay has a DCM# of HCHCAJAAB and was same date of manufacture, and not it spins and clicks, whereas before I swapped the logic boards it did not spin at all. If anyone has a suggestion for this problem I would very grateful, Ed Spann

I Have a 1tb with the same problem i can't get to match the dcm.
Does anyone know where i can get a 1TB with DCM#HBRCHV2AB?
I will buy it from anyone who has one
One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or
to shutdown or fail to detect your hard drive
Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical
extensions,IDE,SATA
the leads from your
"((motherboard to your hard drive))" make sure they have a secure connection and are not faulty or
just replace them they could be faulty
make
sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have
secure connections and are not faulty even the electical extensions or just
replace them they could be faulty a computer needs its connections to continue
its cycle and have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error
hope
this helps

Hi,
I have seen that you talked in the last year about a WD5000YS with the DCM "HCHCAJAAB".
Does anybody has a glue where to find this HD?
I would need it very urgent and would be glad for any information where I could get such a HD with the exact DCM.
Thanks
Please email me.

now i need to find the exact same logic board to replace it. can you help?
