Hi All,

I was traveling abroad with a free agent external enclosure with a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 drive inside and left the power chord at home. I went to a tech store and they connected the wrong powersupply to the drive and now it wont turn on. We tried connecting it to a desktop shell but the HDD won't spin or turn on now.

I was told I might be able to recover the data by swapping the PCB? If I buy another drive, can someone please tell me what absolutely has to match up in order for the swap to work?

Model: ST3320820AS
Firmware: 3.AFE
Productnumber (P/N): 9BJ13G-566
Datacode: 07382
Sitecode: TK
Mainchip on the PCB: 100404226
PCB number on the small sticker under the barcode: 100436209

I found a drive for sale online that matches the Model, Firmware, Sitecode and the first part of the P/N (9BJ13G). Can someone please let me know if this is good enough to work? Or a good source for replacement PCBs? Or if this will work at all?

Thank you in advance,
Alex

If you need to purchase a PCB, try the following vendor:
http://www.onepcbsolution.com/

His price is US$40, plus $10 for a ROM transfer.

Otherwise, upload a detailed photo of your PCB and one of us will help you with a DIY repair, if feasible.

BTW, I am not associated with any supplier.
