Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 8

May 10th, 2008, 1:56

Hello All,

I have a Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 8 30GB which is dead, numbers on cover - code NAR61590 6E030L050201 AAA SN E105ZPBE

The problem I have is the HDD cant be seen by the OS and doesnt seem to power up.

Can anyone suggest a way to fix this? IM guessing I might need a new PCB but where can I get one from and what about compatability issues?

All info welcome.

Hi!

I have a board for that drive.

"6E0 or max dm 8 similar board is ok."

There is at least one more parameter has to match, besides a family of the drive.
