Hi guys,

Last night my Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6B200 (A 200GB SATA150 HDD manufactured January 2005) would not detect in BIOS or Windows XP. I checked everything, connections etc, realised that it was not even spinning up i.e. no power and concluded that something had gone on the PCB.

I know that the drive works because I have another of the exact same drive and I swapped the PCB and grabbed all the data from it. Upon careful visual inspection of the PCB and measuring with my multimeter, I can only see that Q501 is blown.

On this transistor is printed "J3076" which I believe makes it a 2SC3076 ?

However I can't find this component anywhere.. I have seen a couple of similar components that may work but I was just wondering whether anyone has an exact replacement, or knows where I could get one? (in the UK)

Cheers!
CJ.

pcimage, he is a pro and in UK

I have sent him a PM, I'm just looking for either an exact replacement Q501 transistor, or the part number of an acceptable replacement. I'm not looking for a data recovery service, as per the post above I've already recovered my data, I just want to repair my drive instead of throwing it away

This drive is allready too old to be trustable.
If you don't want bad for yourself, let this drive die, and get new one.

J3076 is probably a FJD3076 NPN transistor, 40V, 2A, lo-sat:

It is specified for audio frequencies.

The following URL confirms that the marking code for the FJD3076 is J3076:

Hi,
FJD3076 = 2SD1758 [Rohm]
