Maxtor DiamondMax VL 40, 30 GB IDE

[pcotter]

Hello gurus!

I have a fried Logic Board from a Maxtor DiamondMax VL 40, 30 GB IDE with the following characteristics:
Model: 33073H3
HDA: 13A
PCBA: 03A
Unique: 11A
Code: YAH814Y0
and C,M,B,A just between a code bar and S/N.
Now i found a Logic board with the same characteristics but with different letter codes. It says N,M,B,E .
I do not know what this letters stand for. Do you think that the Logic board will work with my HDD?

Please help
Thanks, and Merry Xmas
Pedro.

Thank you Pepe... You gave me hope lol!!!

By the way, do you know what that alphabetic code means????

I know that the third letter (B) has something to do with the Head Stack... but the rest?!?!?!
Anyway i thank you!

to match the pcb u dont need to check all this there is a five letter code on the pcb if that matches with the donor PCB it should work .

Thanks for the tip. Is not that easy to find a donor PCB for this HDD model.
Anyway, i will let you know if with the PCB i found works.
