heya all. Anyone worked on these drives? I am curious about possibility of PCB swaps on them small ones if electronic failure is suggeted.

Its possible, but I am sure you will have to do a lot of research on that.

I dont mind spending my time and researching = ) I just hope that the info is on the net =) Smth tells me its not gonna be as easy as just swaping adaptives from a board to board eh =)

I wonder if its all BGA on 1.8s...

Not only BGA. CSP or similar too. Some parts are sooooooooooooooooo small....

P.S. something tells me that you'll search for a long time....

smth tells me i wont find what i am looking for. Very little info on open net.

No info on the net. Lookit at PCB it seems the adaptives are on CPU. There is 1 chip TLS2309 that puzzles me. No idea what it is. Other then that its a sad day. Anyone can tell me what this TLS chip is plz ?

Combo chip spindle + VCM

It looks like a TI spindle and voice coil controller.

Search for "TLS2" at http://www.datasheetarchive.com/

You will see similar parts.

ty gents. I apretiate the help.

So i am asuming for a PCB swap to work on this beastie will require moving the CPU. And the TLS can stay behind =)

Not only

damnit =)))
