Hello,
I have a green board with a 2005 security chip (G45-US), but my U15 chip says v.1.06. I got a 2005 Extra hard drive off of Ebay and my machine says "hard drive detect failed". I tried replacing the ribbon cable with a new one, but no change. I made sure the red line on the ribbon cable was plugged into the pin 1 side. I also measured the voltage across pins 16 and 32 and U15 and got 5.1 VDC.
My question is, do I need a newer version of the U15 chip for the hard drive to boot the hard drive? I know there is a version 2.08 u15 chip out there, but not sure what the differences are or where to buy the U15 chip.
Thanks!
