PCB failures (Such as Seagate PCB 100731589<\/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: Seagate Thin SSHD – Not spinning up<\/b><\/p>\n
Good day, I’ve received this HDD from one of our clientsModel: ST500LM000FW: SM30PCB NO.: 100731589I have tried swapped ROM to a donor PCB, without availPlease adviseBest regards<\/p>\n
Q: [Help] ST500LM000 – not recognized<\/b><\/p>\n
Hi all, I hope you can help me to solve the problem that I have with this hd ST500LM000 SSHD 500GB 8GB NAND 5400 rpm SN W766H RW3 PN 1EJ162-076 FW LVD5 board ver 100731589 rev A The motor spins up and it can be hear only one click of the head I tried to change logic board with donor board I swapped bios ic but no success With donor board the disk is completely dead no motor spin up, no click The two board (patient and donor) only differ for NAND <\/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
