   Swapping the printed circuit board (PCB) on Toshiba hard drives requires matching 4 things “EXACTLY” for your best chance of success without having to swap any chips from your old PCB to the new PCB. We recommend matching the full model number (MK2565GSX) and also the full HDD number which is normally located right under the model number (HDD2H84 F VL01 T). Not all Toshiba drives have the Firmware (FW) on the label of the drive, but if the FW is on the drive label, it is a “MUST” that you match the FW (010 A0/GJ002C). The FW is normally located right under the HDD number. Last thing we recommend matching when swapping PCB’s on Toshiba drives is the Main Controller chip on the PCB which is the larger square chip on the PCB (88i9017-TLA2). If these 4 things are not matched “EXACTLY”, you will be able to get the drive to spin, but you will not be able to get the drive to be recognized to recover your data or use the drive. (See photos for examples).If this is the case when you install the matching PCB you will need to transfer the 8 pin ROM chip from your original PCB to the matching PCB for the drive to be recognized in the bios to recover your data. These ROM chips are specific for each drive and a simple PCB swap with an exact match is not a guarantee without the ROM transfer. The 8 pin ROM chip is highlighted with a dark red square as shown below.
