PCB failures (Such as Hitachi PCB 0A90380<\/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
Some emails from customers of Hitachi PCB 0A90380 failures are listed below, along with tips for replacing & repairing.<\/p>\n
Q: PCB compatibility for TOSHIBA drive<\/b><\/p>\n
Hello,I have a Toshiba DT01ACA3000 (JAN-2016)PCB Sticker: PF00035TS0242CK1N54901B2PCB REF: 220 0A90380 01I bought a new PCB with REF 220 0A90380 01 (but I don’t know the HDD model).I transferred the ROM but unfortunately, the PCB didn’t work.Could anyone please, tell which parameter have to match between the patient and the donor PCB for that drive.Attachment:PCB-1.jpg [ 768.75 KiB | Viewed 8705 times ]Attachment:PCB-2.jpg [ 628.66 KiB | Viewed 8705 times ]Thanks in advance.<\/p>\n

Hi All Hitachi\/Toshiba 3tb SATA HDD Model DT01ACA300 Board 0A90380 Hoping for some advice on 5 Toshiba (Hitachi) drives that received 12v overvoltage on the +5V supply due to an error in cabling As this is for a personal NAS, they cant afford sending to a data recovery company so I was asked to have a look Form my basic check the 5v TVS diode and fuse link have cut the 5v supply as its designed to <\/p>\n
Q: Toshiba PCB 220 0A90377 01 match with PCB 220 0A90380 01<\/b><\/p>\n
Found an amazing PCB matchToshiba 3.5″ DT01ACA100 1 tb. I have another hdd with same PCB number. All different capacity. Tried this. I guess all would work .PCB 220 0A90377 01Toshiba DT01ACA200 2tbPCB 220 0A90380 01Tested. Working. PCB design different. But hot bios swap working. ???Good jobPics here … tml#p13231<\/p>\n
Q: unknown rebranded fake HDD – please help to identify<\/b><\/p>\n
Hello Gurus,ich have a 2TB HDD which doesn’t come ready and clicking. Has anybody seen such HDD before?Model-Number on the Label is TPS23234A002000A. PCB-Label-Nr. is 0A90380. In ROM ich can find this string: “Hxx5C30xxBLE63x Microcode (C) 2012, HGST, a Western Digital company.”So it’s a rebranded HGST-HDD. Can this be handled by PC3K? Which model of HGST\/WD-HDD is it?Thanks in advance!Boerge<\/p>\n
Q: Noob needing help. TOSHIBA HDWA130 (Low-Energy E300 Drive).<\/b><\/p>\n
of numbers (waiting on guy to tell me) [PF00035 TS0242A M38520] but not the matching 4th sequence and again it isn’t the same model either it is a 2tb not low-energy 7200rpm drive I CAN find matching PCbs with the engraved(?) number of 220 0A90380 01 and I can still find these drives online for not so cheap But again IDK how I am to match these pcbs? I read that different batches can be different so it can be a toss up Would any PCB from the same model and year work? I think not because <\/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
