Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6B200 - Failed Q501

October 10th, 2009, 8:36

Hi guys,

Last night my Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6B200 (A 200GB SATA150 HDD manufactured January 2005) would not detect in BIOS or Windows XP. I checked everything, connections etc, realised that it was not even spinning up i.e. no power and concluded that something had gone on the PCB.

I know that the drive works because I have another of the exact same drive and I swapped the PCB and grabbed all the data from it. Upon careful visual inspection of the PCB and measuring with my multimeter, I can only see that Q501 is blown.

On this transistor is printed "J3076" which I believe makes it a 2SC3076 ?

However I can't find this component anywhere.. I have seen a couple of similar components that may work but I was just wondering whether anyone has an exact replacement, or knows where I could get one? (in the UK)

Cheers! :mrgreen:
CJ.

I have sent him a PM, I'm just looking for either an exact replacement Q501 transistor, or the part number of an acceptable replacement. I'm not looking for a data recovery service, as per the post above I've already recovered my data, I just want to repair my drive instead of throwing it away :wink:

This drive is allready too old to be trustable.
If you don't want bad for yourself, let this drive die, and get new one.

J3076 is probably a FJD3076 NPN transistor, 40V, 2A, lo-sat:

It is specified for audio frequencies.

The following URL confirms that the marking code for the FJD3076 is J3076:

Hi,
FJD3076 = 2SD1758 [Rohm]
