First of all hello .

Right i have the above internal/external hard drive for my hp desktop,

Yesterday the hdd decided to stop i get the green power button flashing on the power cable and the blue power button flashing on the hdd, When i unplug the hdd the green light on the power cable stays on.

So i have taken the hdd apart and found that the pcb board seems to have burn marks on it where it connects to the hdd.

I have looked for a new pcb board mine is as follows


100354297 REV A

firmware 100335769 K

The closest i have found is

100354297 REV A Which is the same

firmware 100335769 L So it's just the last letter which is different

Do you think this could work?

Any help much appreciated

It might work, you have to let us know.
It won't hurt to try it on this model.

Firmware is not the number you are showing, its usualy desplayed on a front sticker as FW.

If it won't work, you have to provide a full model number, FW code, P/N, Site Code and someone might have this board for sale.

Ok thanks for the reply, I have ordered it even if it doesn't work properly if i could just get the power to it to get it to spin up then i could retrive my data from it as i have the programme get data back. Fingers crossed

Ok an update people, i ordered a pcb which never turned up so i got my money back,

I put the drive back together now and noticed when i slot it into the media drive bay the computer just shuts down so could it be a short or something more?

Check TVS on pcb .

[mitford]

what is TVS?

I took the pcb into work where the avionic lads had a quick look at it for me and cleaned the contacts but they said there was nothing obvioud

Post a picture of the PCB if possible; circuit side obviously. I'll see if I can see anything out of the ordinary.
