Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320gb Main Chip Burnt Out

[sasson]

Hi,

Forgive me for being a newbie, but I have a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320gb, which stopped spinning recently. When I opened it up I noticed that what looks like the main chip has burnt out.

The chip is marked down as:-
ST(logo) MV08BB
100404195
V470BB16ETR
96604009
AA179
TWN 99 6??

I have included a couple of photos.

Is the chip the real problem (that is, if that chip is gone one the disk wouldn't spin?)

Is it possible to get a replacement chip and solder it in? Or get a new board? If so, where is the best place to get this?

I only really want to be able to get the data off, I'm not bothered about a full repair.

Thanks in advance,
Sass

that is the motor controller IC chip. Yes this will cause your drive not to spin up

Hi,

No, that is the microprocessor ASIC.
Apart from that probably other components and maybe the preamp is also damaged.

I can help with a recovery in UK, should be reasonable price if the drives not been tinkered with.

PM me if interested.

Its rare to see this chip burn .

Yes it is, usually it's the motor chip that burns.

Maybe the pins got shorted by mis-handling whilst powered-on?

I think it was used in a removable rack and either it got shorted inside, or was plugged to the wrong socket...
