Can anyone help? Question about Seagate HD

[lunchboxes]

I damaged one inductor on the PCB of Seagate ST3320620AS

The inductor is written as 3R3

I want to replace that SMD

But I am not sure that if I can use TDK VLCF5020T-3R3N1R6 to replace it

Here is the data sheet of TDK power inductor

and here is the pix of my seagate harddisk pcb
The damaged part is inside the red circle

Any expert can help me out? Thanks

Most likely (99%) you can use it.

Thank you for your reply.
I will go get it.

Hi ,
Try a Direct Shorting of The Same also ,It Will Not Spoil the PCB for Sure ,See If It works till Replacement Comes

Hi Amarbir,

These things are parts of DC-DC converters running at some hundred KHz. At this frequency these have some reasonable impedance that your short won't have -> it will overload the driving circuit.

Pepe ,
True ......But What He Could Try Is a Inductor or the Same Value From Other Bad HDD's

Amarbir, they would have not fitted an inductor if could be shorted... It's part of the circuit. A smps with one or more coils short in the primary typically break the switching or trigger the protection (basic engineering of smps or dc-dc converter circuits!) sorry could not resist posting, despite I quit definitively dr and related stuff - at last! .
