PCB failures (Such as Maxtor PCB 040121300<\/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 DiamondMax 10 200GB 6B200M0 PCB Change<\/b><\/p>\n
problem, I need to get my data back, so I have to change the PCB I got another Maxtor DiamondMax 10 but with a different model number, the 6L200M0 The main controller for both cards is an Oscar E5-D4 but the end is different (040118900 and 040121300) There is another different too, on one it’s written “SABRE\/SATA\/RC2” and on the working one “SABRE\/SATA\/ROHS” Do you think the PCB of the working hard drive could work on mine or there is no chance for that ? Thanks <\/p>\n
