burnt out PCB on HDD
Hi folks,
HELP! I've just had the misfortune to suffer a burn out on Maxtor 250Gb SATA drive, on closer inspection it seems the 'smooth' chip has self combusted. What are the chances of getting a replacement PCB for this drive, where from, how much in £sterling approx? Model 7y250m00612p written on the pcb is - Calypso /PII /Therm if that measn anything to anyone. I understand that I should replace the pcb with the exact same version, is that correct? Advice and suggestions are very much welcomed on this matter. Im in the UK Regards Simon reply to address is valid minus the obvious |

Model 7y250m00612p written on the pcb is - Calypso /PII /Therm if that measn anything to anyone. I understand that I should replace the pcb with the exact same version, is that correct? Yes, tho if you cant find one of those, same model is better than nothing. |

It's hard to get a hold of just the circuit board, typically you end up salvaging one. Swapping the boards is about the limit of home brew data recovery. And it voids the warranty on the drive. |

Odds are good of getting a replacement, though I would first see if it's under warranty as if it is, you might be able to get Maxtor to send an advanced replacement drive that you could swap the PCB off of... or even if it isn't compatible, at least you still have the replacement drive to use. I understand that I should replace the pcb with the exact same version, is that correct? Ideally yes, a minor difference in PCB revision "Might" work, but get the closest match you can. |
