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....

HDD Initialization...
System controller (SoC)................. : 88i9146B2 (0x7412)
UART.................................... : 460800
Internal ROM............................ : No
External ROM............................ : No
HDD Initialization...................... : Ok
 
==========
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...
