I hope your not just planning on swapping the PCB (Printed Circuit Board or Primary Controller Board, it varies). If you swap with the wrong one you could be worse off. When swapping those out you need to be very precise with Western Digitals you need to be aware of the Site Code as well as the top number/letter combo, i think with yours it might be something like: AMR or AMK I don't remember something like that though. I know what its like to loose data, keep us informed. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
