Hello,
Sorry, but I have not been on line for a while..
Right, the code on (the one on the large square chip on the PCB) is A3DKP3. It was this main chip that was damaged...
I was told 2 days ago in a discussion with a company that does this kind of thing that I need to match 3 specific codes on a similar drive, these are as follows:
HDA = 04A
PCBA = 03A
Unique = 24A
Also, the main code on the PCB (the specific one under where it says Maxtor Draco II) is 301283100.
I am wondering if by matching this I will find a PCB that was made at the same time, and therefore hopefully be near enough identical.
Thanks for you help
