Hi there,
so here's the thing. The cache chip on my sister's Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 9YN164-500 (FW: CC4B) burned out (i.e. got immediately hot in that area and it smelled burned), so I went ahead and bought a new PCB with the same model and same revision.
The problem is, I accidentally broke off one leg of the BIOS chip while transferring.
Is there any way I can retrieve their data?
I thought of buying a third PCB (because I probably ruined the second one already lol) and trying to reprogram the chip with a firmware .bin file I found for that hard drive model with the same firmware on another site (I'm not sure if I'm allowed to mention their name). However, they do say in a README, that they don't know if the firmware works or if it's corrupt because their drive failed for not only electrical damage.
Would that be possible? Is there another way I could get a hold of the (working) firmware I need?
Are there other possibilities, as I don't have the financial capacity as a student to shell out at least one grand for a platter swap if that would even do anything.
Suggestions would be highly appreciated!
