Which Samsung SP1614N is compatible for head stack replaceme

September 25th, 2007, 4:25

Hi,

my Samsung SP1614N has a read/write head error and I want to replace the head stack.
The first try with dummies didn't work, but the headstack ran again in his original
hdd.

So I think, it's a problem with compatibility of the head stacks...

So how can I recognize the head stack compatibility of a donor
hdd with my Samsung SP1614N (S/N S016J10X104456; 2004.01)..??

Thanx in advance!

After model number(SP1614N), I always match the first seven characters
of the serinal number(S016J10). It always worked me fine.
