I have a wd10tmvw

usb 3 board

with pins for the serial port

I cant read the rom

So then I pull the board to read it with a pin reader

and there is no U12

only U14

board is 771814-001 rev P1

trying the usual com port and usb reading finds the cpu but cant find an internal rom....

==========

ok I think mystery solved

drive went to another shop

and I can see flux on the pads - so they must have removed the chip...
