SEAGATE HARDDISK COMPONENT HELP NEEDED

March 11th, 2010, 8:03

Hi, I am new to this forum, I wonder if you could help me:
I have a Seagate 160Gb SATA ST3160211AS barracuda , and suddenly my harddisk power cable has been burned and the pinout also

S/N: 6PT1RXAA
ST3160211AS
P/N: 9CC112-302
Firmware : 3.AAE
Date code : 07195

Examining the Hard disk PCB (logical board) I have found a component has been burned

Here is the photo (the component is signaled in red, you may have to click the pictures to see them in full detail)

And so, the inevitable question of course is, does anyone knows what type of components they are? capacitors, resistors, diodes, voltage spike protectors, ... ? and do you know their values as well, so I can weld equivalent ones? Or at least do you know any schematic of this Seagate, because I searched the Net a LOT, and found nothing!
I have to recover my data.
Please, please, PLEASE, help.

Thanks in advance :)
