Problems with my hitachi hard drive

[christianeitor]

I have the following hard disk drive

HITACHI
MODEL :HDT722525DLAT80 (ATA)
250 GB
7200 RPM
IDE/ATA

and my problem is :

I have a HDT722525DLAT80 (ATA) and its PCB doesn't work, I've tried to buy the same hard disk drive in order to use the PCB from the new HDD in the old HDD for recovering my stored information using the PCB of the new HDT722525DLAT80 (ATA) in the old HDT722525DLAT80 (ATA), but the product is not available in the market, In other way I found the HDT722525DLA380 (SATA) available in the market for sale and I'm not sure if the PCB of the HDT722525DLA380 (SATA) will work in the HDT722525DLAT80 (ATA), the main reason... is to recover my information storaged in the HDT722525DLAT80 (ATA) which its PCB is damaged

somebody who can help me ?

Regards

I have the same issue exactly. If anyone has an answer it would greatly appreciated. I have alot of personally valuable info on this drive.

The PCB is UNIQUE for each drive.

So do I go to the USB enclsoure mfr to get the PCB? In this case Iomega?

If the data is valuable I suggest you send it to a pro; this type of job shouln't be outrageously expensive. Unless you tamper with the drive alot first.

The PCB is UNIQUE for each drive.

Not true for this particular drive family.
Check the label on the PCB. If the first two lines are identical you can swap the PCB's.

What about the NVRAM?

Sure, the PCB's are electronically the same, but the NVRAM is very likely to differ.

I have had success in the past with swapping PCBs with no NVRAM transfer, but only on IBM never with hitachi...

I'm quite sure I have swapped these in the past without rom swap but you have to be very very lucky to get a match. Much like Western Digital drives.
