Default Dead HDD board - schematics?


My IBM Deskstar 80GB drive died last week. It just shutdown with no
advance notice. Although I replaced it with a WD 120GB drive, there
are a few items that I would like to be able to get my hands on from
the old drive (if I can).

Essentially, the drive died... no spin-up even though power is present
on the board's pins.

Being an electronics engineer, my question is as follows:

I suspect that a pico-fuse blew and that I might be able to bring this
drive back to life. However, it would be simpler if someone had access
to a schematic diagram, or if I could be pointed to the proper area of
the board.
The drive is: IBM Deskstar 82.3GB 7200RPM,IDE, model #
IC35L080AVVA07-0

Now, if I "kill" this drive, then so be it! But I do not want to
simply abandon it.

My Sony VAIO PCG-C1X died and Sony was asking the price of a new
board. I snooped around and found a cold solder joint. The result was
a resurrected laptop. I am hoping to be able to at least get the drive
to spin-up so that I could get my hands on the few files that were not
backed-up (most was).

I think the only place you can find the schematics is either IBM or
Hitachi. Probably Hitachi since they bought IBM's hard drive business.
I have tried finding schematics for mother boards and hard drives
before, but was never successful.

Hi Traveler,

I have the same drive as yours, mine died over a period, span up &
down, but while up, was OK, so I think the contents are OK. Now, spins
up, but head ticks constantly. Looks like board has gone. Have you
managed to find a good board? If so can you point me in the sam
direction?

Cheers,

JohnnyD
