PCB failures (Such as Toshiba PCB G003138A<\/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 Toshiba PCB G003138A failures are listed below, along with tips for replacing & repairing.<\/p>\n

Q: Convert USB Toshiba MQ01UBD100 to SATA<\/b><\/p>\n
This is probably old and obvious news, but just had to swap heads on a USB MQ01UBD100. The SATA PCB from the MQ01ABD100 head donor seemed a good match for SATA conversion.USB PCB: G003250ASATA PCB: G003138AMCU: 88i9317-RAI2Conversion worked fine.<\/p>\n

Q: MQ01UBD100<\/b><\/p>\n
Hi guys, I need some help…I want to recover data from MQ01UBD100 (heads banging\/ clicking) and it’s G003250A. I have replaced the head from donor drive MQ01ABD075 (G003138A) but the new head is still making sound and doesn’t recognise. I then put the head back in donor drive and it starting clicking there as well.May I know if replacing head only won’t be a solution? or am I missing any other step here?Thank you in advance<\/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
