Hi All,
I have this hard drive
http://img168.imageshack.us/i/wd1p.jpg/http://img687.imageshack.us/i/wd2l.jpg/Those are the parts on the pcb which are burnt (can easily be seen)
http://img405.imageshack.us/i/61707181.jpg/http://img511.imageshack.us/i/25150457.jpg/Where can I get those little parts?
I want to fix that pcb by replacing the burnt chips.
Mant Thanks!

D3 appears to be a 5V TVS diode. R67 is a zero ohm link.
You can remove the diode, and replace R67 with a piece of wire. If there is no other damage, the drive will work OK, but without overvoltage protection on the +5V supply. Just be sure your PSU is OK.
For continued protection, you can replace the diode with an SMAJ5.0A from Farnell, Mouser, Digikey, and replace R67 with a 2A picofuse.

Hi fzabkar,
Many thanks for the informative answer!
Can I take the good part from a different pcb which belongs to a different HD model? - WD3200AAKS-00B3A0
See the picture:

Yes you can.
Just pay attention to the polarity stripe on the diode.
Good luck.

that what we call a black fuse.
check to make sure its the right voltage and you should be good to go
make sure you put it the right way around.
mark it with a pen so you know.
dont try and put a wire across as that will damaged the drive if its got a short on it
if the main fuse has just blown it possible might start but your here click click click sounds
if so preamp damaged.
