Charger and Spyglass 2 version 2 encryption:

Assuming the original PCB works, this is a summary of our procedure:
1) Write the original or a compatible ROM to an unlocked PCB.
2) Backup the important firmware modules.
3) Check the integrity of the second level translator(T2).
4) Make adjustments to the firmware to stabilize the drive.
5) Modify the original USB PCB by adding a SATA connector. (https://blog.acelaboratory.com/pc-3000-hdd-how-to-solder-a-sata-adapter-to-the-usb-western-digital-drive.html)
6) Recover the data using PC-3000 SATA port + Data Extractor.

POWER CONTROL VIA SATA FOR USB DRIVES

To control the power via sata for usb drives : Connect the USB drive to Adapter PC USB 3.0.

1. Connect SATA power cable from PC3000 to the adapter and a cable that we use for terminal on another end.
2. Connect hard drive via USB 3 cable to the Adapter PC USB 3.0.
3. Turn on the power via pc3000 from selected port of sata power cable.
4. Hard drive should appear in the disk management or file explorer.

How to perform a hot swap

When the patient drive has a damaged service area that cannot be repaired (e.g. because the SA heads can't write), we can take a drive from the same family with a matching heads map (and close enough adaptives) and write the patient's SA resources to it. Then we can initialise the MCU/RAM using the repaired SA on the donor drive, swap the PCB, and gain access to data on the patient.

• get required patient resources (rom, SA modules)
• backup donor resources so drive can be restored. it's best to back up the SA tracks for easy donor restoration.
• modify adaptives in donor rom (module 47)
  • this will be the microjogs or the preamp DACs. whichever is NOT all zeroes
• exit utility, repower drive and start utility
• write patient DIR to donor by ID
• exit utility, repower drive and start utility
• will likely need to upload ldr (should only really need mod 11)
• write the rest of the modules by ID (don't write mod 01)
• write patient rom to donor board (might need to adjust adaptives again)
• exit utility, repower drive
• start utility, upload ldr from patient profile and choose to load resources from profile
• rewrite mod 01
• exit utility, repower drive and start utility
• we get full ID of patient drive
• send standby command, wait for motor to stop (make sure the drive doesn't spin up again!!! don't want to cause stiction)
• physically swap the PCB to the patient drive
• send recalibration command
• access the data

Restoring the donor drive:

• rewrite original ROM, blocking access to SA (via region shift)
• upload loader, load dir to hdd ram
• if you have SA tracks backed up, write SA tracks. otherwise, rewrite all modules by ID
• rewrite original ROM (unblock the SA)
• after repowering, donor drive should have original ID, data access, etc.
