Here are the pictures:

You can see in the first picture a bump in the component and a leaked liquid in the base of the PCB.

This is TVS chip, its acts like a power surge protector.
You can remove it and your drive should work again, BUT remember your drive won't have any protection. Best thing to do, is replacing it.

You can replace the 12V TVS diode withn an SMBJ12A, and the 5V TVS diode with an SMAJ5.0A. They are available from Farnell, Mouser, Digikey.

I haven't seen any feedback from end users, but the data recovery professionals at HDD Guru say he is reliable.

That said, if your PCB requires a firmware transfer, as is the case for most modern drives, then I don't believe he offers a free service. Instead I would recommend either onepcbsolution.com or hdd-parts.com.

Hi,

thank you so much for your answer.

In fact, I'm engineer in electronics so I can do it myself. I know that i have to exchange the U5 NVRAM between my PCB and the clone PCB.

But before, I just request a good clone PCB and this guy seems to have it.

But he's based in China so i'm not really confident...

I'll check on your suggested websites.

Best regards.

PostPosted: Thu Sep 19, 2013 10:04 pm    Post subject: Looking for a clone : HDT721010SLA360 - 0A37993 Reply with quote

Hi everybody,
I'm looking for a clone for my dead Hitachi HDD - REF : HDT721010SLA360 (Date Code : Aug-2009 - P/N : 0A37993 - S/N : MS0ZZ3YK - MLC : BA3013).
Suddenly, something has happened on the PC startup and now, this HDD is not recognized by the Bios.
The power supply is Ok on several point of the PCB but nothing happen (no noise, no motor vibrations...).
I understood that i have to exchange the U5 NVRAM from my hard disk to the clone. I'm engineer in electronics so I think i can do it myself.
BUT, unfortunately, after many (night) hours, I haven't found any exact complete clone HDD. Sometimes, it's the good PCB reference but not the good HDD reference and sometimes it's the good HDD reference but not the correct PCB sticker.
So, my question is : Is it really necessary to find the complete reference of my complete harddrive or just a clone compliant PCB (same Sticker reference = 0A29987 BA3263 _ MzK929 06V1).
For the last part of the reference, it seems not necessary to have the exact one.
An other point : I don't remember if i have uploaded a firmware update on this HDD (I don't know exactly if it's possible). Is it a problem or not ?

Please, fell free to contact me for an help, answer, indication.
Thank you for your Help.
Best regards.

FWIW, I no longer recommend the above company.

See this thread:

If you would like to measure some onboard test points, then upload a photo of the component side of your PCB.
