Help my pcb died!! A puff of smoke from a chip, i tried to swap with another chip but doesn't start! So only the same pcb will save my Gbs!

There's my hd, i'm italian. See you!

hi,

you already replaced the chip and no response from the drive. did you check the fuses/safety diodes of the pcb? maybe one ore more of them are gone.

Greetings,

oh well... gosh! diodes.. it's a miracle i've found a person able to swap that chip, i think i'll not have other miracles to understand in that sea of chips a fused diode!
sorry.. i'm a donkey about electronic parts... pcb too!
i just need that damned pcb

Thanks for support..

The simplest way is to get a new / used ENTIRE drive only for the PCB hoping the damage has not gone further

( ITALIAN TRANSLATION : fai prima a trovare un altro HDD uguale e usi solo la scheda - sperando che il guasto si sia fermato li')

I have compatible pcb for the drive PM for details .

[mitch]

i also tried with a r3gla pcb... but it's not compatible.. sorry rameez

I have taken a look to your images.
I think about the damage, your preamp is dead as well.
You need to check this, before, probing another pcb.

preamp? well i don't know where the preamp is in my hd.
but.. engines seem to be ok because while using the swapped pcb
the sound at start was tzzzz TZZZZ tzzzz TZZZZ but bios didn't detect the hd!
and it has NOT fried the swapped pcb!
so i think ( i hope ) i have fried only the pcb!
i just think the r3gla was not the right pcb.

See you!

Hi,

if it is tzzzzz tzzzz tzzzzz-ing, probably the spindle bearing is seized, causing the original motor controller to burn...
bad news.

yes that sound was like Tzzz but the pcb was not the right pcb in fact the other pcb has less legs contacting on hd slot than the original pcb!i mean the original has x legs and the hd surface has x legs while the other pcb has x-3 legs.. i just hope!

Did you checked, it is really spin?
If not, you have a bigger problem....

[mitch]

well... yes.. i hope it was the spinning sound.
it was like the hd find a bad cluster..
but.. i'm not absolutely sure!
i just have to open my drive!
