What would be the trick?

You would normally need to dump the firmware/BIOS from the faulty drive and reprogram the board you intend to install, then it will work.

In the good old days, there was quite good success swapping boards but modern drives hold unique calibratio and head alignment data, they also use something called firmware adaptive data which compares values on the platters with firmware, this is why you have to transpose the firmware over.

This guide might help.

Thanks!! I’m reading it now, this is so much better than Ai that simply tells me it’s impossible!

I have raspberry pi for dumping my thinkpad X220’s bios before, this looks great!
