Hi all.
What is this? Its a PCB for an hard drive. I'm hoping that it's the only thing damaged on the board and if I can replace it and get my HD up and running again.
I had the drive running whilst some bit of metal was underneath it; so I'm assuming it might have shorted out as it doesn't turn on anymore. If I replaced the PCB with another one from the same model, the drive spins up but isn't recognised (I believe that this hard drive, the Samsung HD501LJ retains the firmware data that is usually on a ROM chip on the CPU).
The TVS Diodies seem fine, with a high value one way and low value in the other. So I'm hoping just replacing this thing might be possible
Thanks for any help.
