Coolermaster X-Dock Fried WD :(

[karfam]

Hello
I installed some new drives in my coolermaster pc case and now my old wd caviar sata had to get out the case.
So i would use the coolermaster x-dock bay to inserth the hdd and copy all the content.

So when i inserted the wd caviar inside the bay , the pc shutted down and after that the hdd stopped to spin.
I recconected it to a internal sata port but no luck. It sees to be fried.

After reading the forum it seems that the dock is faulty and a lot of hdd's are fried...So thank you coolermaster...

I ordered a spare pcb so to replace the fried one but it might need bios exhacge which need special tools.

The fried pcb has a burn in a small chip on the upper left corner...What is that?



do you think that with exchaning the bios chip the hdd will work again?

Does anyone have to propose a technician so to sent the pcb for repair?
I sent to all of europe

thanks for the help

Hello

Motor IC burned, maybe pre amp gone with him.

What is the pcb / HDD references ?

Good Luck

Can you measure the resistances of these components?

If D3 and R67 are damaged, then your preamp would be suspect.

thanks for the replies

I used the donor pcb and the drive spinned up but after 2-3 seconds a tic tic sound came.
So i think that the preamp isnt shortcirquited.

Maybe a firmware trasnfer to the donor pcb make the trick?

Northwind price is about 400$ so want first to try my luck if there is a cheaper way

$400 is very cheap for preamp problem, snatch his hand off!
