PCB failures (Such as Toshiba PCB G003235C<\/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 G003235C failures are listed below, along with tips for replacing & repairing.<\/p>\n
Q: TOSHIBA PCB MQ01ABD075<\/b><\/p>\n
hi guys, I have the HDD Toshiba Model: MQ01ABD075 (750GB) with PCB G003235C.I need change ROM with BGA, but I don’t have other HDD with equal model.but, the model MQ01ACF050 (500GB) have the same PCB (G003235C), with few differences on somecomponents.The solder will work?Thanks! =)<\/p>\n
Q: First timer repairing a MQ01UBD100.<\/b><\/p>\n
but we\u2019re probably not going to pay $1k to get the data back and that replacing the PCB might work In the hopes that swapping the PCB will fix the issue (if that\u2019s a waste of time please let me know) I can either get a G3448A USB board or a G003235C SATA board ( https\/\/wwwdata-medicscom\/forum\/toshiba-usb-to-sata-guide-t1305html )? Then if I understand this right I need to swap the physical IC602 chip from the old PCB to the replacement PCB? If that is all correct, can the IC602 be <\/p>\n
Q: 2 Dead Drives Toshiba Laptop and WD Desktop<\/b><\/p>\n
I killed several of them to start with but the last couple I have removed the heads several times and reinstalled them and the drive still works The laptop drive is Toshiba MQ01ABD100 AAT AA11\/AXOA3M HDKBB96T3A01 S 10 sep 2012 Made in China PCB G003235C According to the model number is critical, country and code is High priority I would assume that the numbers that would be most important to match would be Toshiba MQ01ABD100, PCB G003235C and i am going to guess at least most <\/p>\n
Q: PCB SWAPING<\/b><\/p>\n
HI, I HAVE BAD PCB OF TOHSIBA HDD PCB NO. G003235C, MODEL NO. MQ01ABF050 AND A GOOD PCB OF TOSIBA HDD PCB NO. G003235C, MODEL NO MQ01ABD100CAN IT WORK BY FIRMWARE SWAPING (BOIS CHIP SWAP)<\/p>\n
Q: toshiba MQ01ABD100 bad noise recorded<\/b><\/p>\n
Hi, i got a toshiba MQ01ABD100 which seems to have a read head problem. I’ve recorded the sound when it start, can you give me your diagnostic? I think the head is damaged.I want to be sure if it’s useless or not to try to do a PCB swap (in case of firmware corruption).Sound record:toshiba_MQ01ABD100_noise.mp3Spec:toshiba MQ01ABD100Drive REV: AAE AB01\/AX0R2JG003235CThank you.<\/p>\n
Q: MQ01BD100 Read Rom problem<\/b><\/p>\n
I have a Toshiba MQ01ABD100. Fw : AX1PSEAJPCB : G003235C All CP files ok. .HDD in good working condition. There is no problem. Just wanted to convert it to usb with ROM read and write to a chip. I don’t want to desolder. I have killed similar drive before . I want backup Rom first. I cannot read ROM with MRT. This is the first that cannot read toshiba drives. My settings 9600 ok. I have tested again another drives. Working with others. But cannot read this one.Any suggestions,?<\/p>\n
Q: USB to SATA conversion failed on Toshiba MQ01USB100 ?<\/b><\/p>\n
The drive that had become inaccessible Toshiba MQ01USB100 Drive Rev AZA AA00\/AX001U Date JUL 2014 PCB-Rev G003250A Looking for a donor I got a Toshiba MQ01ABD100 Drive Rev AAT AB31\/AX1P4M Date MAR 2016 PCB-Rev G003235C I checked the donor drive and it seemed to work without issues Searching the internet gave no evidence that a conversion from G003250A to G003235C was tried before or that it had worked After transplanting IC602 from patient to donor however, <\/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
