I'm looking for the PCB or drive with the PCB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320 Gb Hard Drive with Firmware 3.AAK. P/N 9bj14g-308

It's fried somehow and i've done the freezing routine, USB front port trick, and even human sacrifice. This is not the clicking and then dead type of drive but the when you hook it in the computer immediately crashes; won't boot connected. I also tried different sata wires, ports, etc.

Thanks!

Was it a virgin? Seagates newer than 7200.9 require virgin sacrifice specifically.

When the drive connects immediately the computer stops working. Not power down but STOPS. I have a SATA/USB interface with a seperate power supply for a drive for transferring files and that doesn't work. Drive isn't recognized in BIOS (of course computer won't start at all with it connected. It just for a microsecond comes on and stops with no POST, BOOT, etc.) No visible signs of damage to a cap, no smoke smell, no rotation of disk. I've had a few HD's die on me before but the usual slow death click then die routine.

For the freezing question yes it worked. I had a drive go bad and I put it in a freezer and got it to start to rotate (click) and was able to replace the PCB on it and then recover data so it worked.

You also can use search on forums (search for TVS word)

I can see a crack in one of the apparent diodes so i'm going to test them this weekend and see how it goes...i've read different posts about just taking the diode off then running it to get the data off???

I removed the TVS....wow, it was cracked and just fell off! However nothing still with the hard drive. I think there's a 2nd TVS (either the 5v or the 12v rail?)....if I remove that is that the next step? This PCB is a tough find.....I tried a USB/Sata power source with the hard drive and it won' t work....

I went ahead and put the HD in with the system and yes it did work! It appears my usb/sata seperate power supply didn't power it up for some reason. I don't know which TVS I removed except it was a cracked one (I could only see it with a monocular). It worked fine long enough for me to remove my data from it. So,

removing the TVS did work.

Thanks for all the feedback/help, I appreciate it!
