PCB failures (Such as Maxtor PCB 040119500<\/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: Maxtor PCB Compatibility<\/b><\/p>\n
crater in the chip and the motor doesn’t spin Now my question is if I can’t find the exact pcb for this hdd what are my options? Here are the specs Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 80GB SATA\/150 Code YAR511WO N,G,B,A Firmware U7FYA Main controller 040119500 (agere Ardent C10-C1) Motor Combo IC L7250E 12 Board Number 301861101 SN Y24FV4SC 6Y080M042732R Has Molex and Sata power connectors (Blew on the Molex) From what I read on other posts you should at least match the firmware Any help is <\/p>\n
Q: shorted PCB on Diamond Max Plus 9 no power<\/b><\/p>\n
I had a unlucky accident, there a was tiny puff of smoke and shorted a Diamond Max Plus 9 80GB SATA \/ 150 and now there is no life to the drive. I hope to bring it back to life just for the purposes of rescuing the data.Spec:HDD: Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 80Gb SATA\/150Code: YAR51HW0 K,M,G,AModel: 6Y080M0Mfg Date: 16 Jan 2005HDD sticker:U8FYA3112408CMYERWhat relevence is K,M,G,A and does it have to match as well?The short happened on 2 legs half way down the Samsung chip (possibly the buffer ram) which is to the right of the Main Controller IC chip in the pic.This link is a close up picture of my PCB but my PCB has a different main controller IC which is 040119500.us.st12.yimg.com\/us.st.yimg.com\/I\/yhst-44463692235217_2034_154369What is the possible damage and would a new PCB fix the drive? If so do you know of any stockists with the exact match PCB preferably in the UK.Thanks.<\/p>\n
To repair a failure board, the simple way is swapping the failure board with a replacement board. Donor boards on HardDriveParts.com are listed below:<\/p>\n
