Could I do this to simply convert a functioning WD My Passport to SATA? Without needing a decrypted PCB? I can swap BIOS chips around no problem, but if still doesn't let me access the existing data I wouldn't care as there is nothing of importance on there, I just want more internal drives

After 10 minutes I learned the simple solution is don't get a western digital hard drive. I was kind of hoping this would be a video showing you how to de-solder a usb attachment, and how to solder a sata connector and which wires go where. Or would the physical encryption prevent you from using the sata connector because it's a different form of hardware? I really hate Western Digital.

Did you ever make the video showing you replace the BIOS chip? Thanks SO MUCH for this video, I'm trying the impossible to fix some of my own hard drives & this video of yours gives me hope (at this point...hope is priceless, hah!)

Definitely bad sectors, parts of the disk are damaged and hard to read, usually inn the service area. The hard drives trying to work, and gets stuck in a loop. Can slow your PC to a crawl. Very common.

im not 100% sure but i would guess no, because of the list oft bad sectors is different and the encryption key is most likely different if present.

Thanks for the explanation! Will it be continued in the next video? I'm wondering if it's possible to convert a 4Tb My Passport drive with 800041 board into SATA (no data recovery is required). What time of the replacement board did you buy for 800041?

Can I just get the new SATA board and it can work? I will NOT be recovering the data, I just would like to use it. I already have everything backed up in a different way. From what I saw it seems like this could work, you said it wouldn’t but I don’t care about the data on there I will overwrite

And if you have dropped clicking hard drive and there problems with heads and firmware you need use WD TREX or WD Explorer to upload raw firmware and collect all firmware from surface. After than possible disconnect and pair damaged heads. This hard drive will not start if one of the heads have reading problem so need upload firmware to memory first and after adjust heads parameter or pair heads for reading data. so after reading good heads need replace heads. For that need find out right heads use heads compatible table from WD. use heads need reset MR settings and use cript to calculate it if it necessary for new heads. Upload firmware to memory start it and read rest heads use head map. I can provide that software and access to WD account if it necessary.
