Hey Guys and Gals, I am on a mission to find said PCB for a friend, She has the machine in for repair and they have told her the PCB is shot, so I said I would try and help her find a replacement.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Please post a good quality photo.

The 2 first rows on the white Pcb-sticker should match, to make a good donor Pcb...don't forget to move the adaptive data from the old pcb.

Have you tried the correct area inside of the forum for searching parts?
A lot of vendors are there replying to posts. Also, you can try ebay, it's a good source.

But be aware that a simple PCB swap will not help you to recover the data.

Right!!! Firstly thank you for taking the time to help.

@ pcimage - I shall ask her to mail a photo.

@ mr_spokk - I thought the part# and MLC were enough?

@ dmarques, not yet no.

Any further "pointers" would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again.

Any further "pointers" would be greatly appreciated.

Personally I'm concerned about trusting the previous diagnosis, without getting further information.

She has the machine in for repair and they have told her the PCB is shot

Did she (or you) get any further details about exactly which part of the PCB is "shot", in their opinion? Unfortunately we have seen people post here, where a PC repairer has mis-diagnosed an internal drive fault as being a PCB problem.

Therefore I suggest that you post the actual symptoms of the drive - how exactly is the drive behaving? (e.g. does it spin-up when power is applied? does it stay spinning? any abnormal noises like clicking? is the drive make / model / capacity reported correctly in the BIOS disk setup screen? was this previously an external drive? etc. etc.), and also give a brief history of what happened just before this problem started, as well as a list of what tests and diagnosis has been done already, with a list of the results of each test.

Just a suggestion...

It depends on what you need to do with the drive...but for Pcb to work you need to match the first two rows on the original Pcb's sticker.
