PCB failures (Such as Samsung PCB BF41-00067A<\/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: I need the inductor or capacitor component name from a hard drive PCB board.<\/b><\/p>\n
Hi,Can someone tell me the capacitor or inductor number on a Samsung SV1203N 120 GB hard drive (the only non-rectangular component of the PCB board). The hard drive was given to me by a friend and the only problem is a missing inductor or capacitor on the PCB board. no number is given on the green board and is probably market on the component.<\/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
