Mich,

Thanks for your reply which give me some hope.

For the number you mentioned (fish'n16+ 301252104), do you mean the
number printed on the biggest chip on the logic board? Looks that most
vendor don't mention their chips in their ads. So how can I know which
chip it's using?

BTW, is it easy to detach the logic board?

Thanks,

Haitao


No not on a chip but on the logic board itself you know, the "green part"

it is easy to remove the logic board if you have the right tools, find a
torxs set that is 12 and under, like a torxs set that is 30 to 8 or 7 and
you now have the proper tool to remove the board, (you can also have some
luck with a regular "flat head" set (regular screw driver) if you can find a
tip that you can work into the screw.

Do not open the drive itself !!! your just gonna work with the logic
board.
this is a great link that is very detailed, study it well.

I wish you luck, I've been able to do this 3 times so far, but once the
"new" logic board burned out in two days, so if you get it to run, CLONE it
rightaway or something else but back it up.

good luck ...
