If you're looking for donor heads, the P/N doesn't have to match.

Really, that is interesting, because I was told by someone that did
the switch with my exact drive (he had the same problem) that it does
matter? Do you have experience with Seagate in switching the logic
boards?
Eagerly awaiting your reply.

Yes, I do.
I wasn't sure if you wanted to swap PCBs or do a head transplant.
For PCB swaps, the part number and firmware need to match.
If you have the same part number but different FW, you can swap the ROM
chips on the PCB.

It does. In the sense that it's possible, it's not written in stone.
Some HDA revisions only work with the logic boards designed
for them, because of different components used on them.
Also, Seagate have a habit of having specific firmwares for
different capacities.

But you would exchange the logic board with it and then you want the
same firmware revision that is compatible with the one on the platters.
There must be a good reason for the part number to be different for
the same model/capacity.

Well a caveat for other trying this sort of thing. I bought a hard
drive, same P/N, same serial and same Firmware number - low and behold
the circuit board was different, about 3/4 of the size of more old
one. So, I will have to ask for pictures of the circuit board next
time to assure I get the right one. I did try and swap this one and
only got a single chirp - which was encouraging because it means the
drive isn't dead - but it hung my system in the bios. I am thinking
about using a software program, if the bios finally recognizes it, to
retrieve the data.
