I have a damaged PCB on a Maxtor Maxline 111 7L250 So 250GB sata HDD which I need to replace. Three questions:

Is the replacement of such a board straight forward - i.e simply screwing the new on on or does it require specialist tools?

Does any one know of a UK supplier? The PCB is labelled Sabre/ Sata/ ROHS with the No 302006101

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm down the road, in Peterborough.

Post a hi-res pic of the damaged PCB.

Thanks. I've taken a photograph, I hope it's clear enough. The part that snapped off came from the bare silver connector next to the large dark black rectangular component.

I can almost certainly do something for you.

PM me or msn me.

Cheers

Sean

I have that PCB if you need it, as long as the big chip on it says Oscar E5-D4 040121300. I bought it by accident when I needed the 302071101 PCB that also goes with a Maxtor MaXLine III 250GB SATA drive...

It is just as easy as replacing the PCB, as long as the drive itself isn't damaged and you get the right PCB.
