PCB failures (Such as Maxtor PCB 040108000<\/b>) affect thousands of hard drives every year and often result in permanent data loss. A hard drive may suddenly fail to power on, and a computer may not detect that it is plugged in. Some failed hard drives will also show up in computer BIOS with incorrect brand\/model information. PCB failures can also cause physical issues such as read\/write head failures, and many PCB failure symptoms overlap with the symptoms of other physical hard drive issues.<\/p>\n

Q: No info about HDD code and PCB for my Maxtor DiamondMax 16<\/b><\/p>\n
Hi everyone, I’ve been looking everywhere about where I can get a replacement PCB for my hard drive. It is a Maxtor DiamondMax 16 120GB, and the code is RAMB1UU0. On the large IC, the number is 040108000. I can’t find any information relating to this PCB. Will a PCB with code RAMB1TU0 work with my hard drive? They are much more commonThe problem I’m having is an IC that is burnt. It is in the lower right corner when the board is viewed with the power and ide connectors facing away from me.<\/p>\n
