Hello to everyone,
I'm new to this platform even if I read many posts in the past and recently I used the excellent article about the Samsung Spinpoint F3 firmware to fix the FIPS section of a HD502HJ/B, so first of all I have to thank fzabkar for this indirect help!
I use to do fault analysys of notebook and general electronics motherboards, from shorts tracing to bga reballing, so I'm quite trained to use the tools I need for smd electronics repair (multimeters, power supplies, hot air, infrared station, Willem programmer etc).
This time I have in my hands an Hitachi 5K750-640, these are its numbers :
HTS547564A9E384
C P/N : H2T640854S
P/N : 0J15342
MLC : DA3931
HW/FW/PCB : A A50A A/A
On the pcb itself I can read:
110 0A90269 01
TAKA020HF
220 0A90269 01
on the barcode sticker :
0J11457
DA4725_
Pzo203
6DW0
Its problem was that it was mounted in a laptop which got flooded with wine, I succeed in restoring the motherboard but the Hitachi drive didn't spin at all, so I analyzed the pcb and found that it had one opened fuse on the 5V, which I swapped with a new fast-type one of 3A, and now the drive came back to life and fortunately works as before.
Since I didn't find any boardview or datasheet of this Hitachi pcb, nor any signs on the pcb or the fuse itself, my question is: will this 3Amps fuse be secure for the future?
In the attached image you can see the two fuses, in the yellow rectangle the blown one.
On the main sticker I can read that this hdd needs 700mAmps on 5V to work correctly, so I think that maybe 1A or 2A would be perfect in order to prevent other internal failures in case of needs, but now I have available only these 3A fuses.
What you guru users think about?
