Hello to everyone,
I have a problem with a Seagate drive that I desire to solve, and I need advice about it. I need to get out my data
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
HDD specifications:
Model: ST2000DM001
PN 1CH164-572
FW: CC44
Date: 13165
Site: Tk
PCB: 100687658 REV C
1332F
It was in a external case, and i had a power wire confussion, and i conected it to the laptop 19V wire, instead of its own 12V wire. Aparently nothing happened. But the PC didn't dettect de external HDD. And then i saw that the hard drive wasn't spinning, only the blue led was blinking. I disconnected the power wire, and when i conected the worrect power wire the HDD didnt work either. Then i extracted the disc of the case. I tried to conect it to the pc with a SATA-USB adapter. And of course, it didn't work, and i saw some smoke under the PCB.
I extracted the PCB and i saw the next:

And here is the smoke source. ¿Is it the only problem?

I don't see any other damaged component. But i am not a expert.
I have read a lot of things:
1.- Remove the burnt piece and short-circuited. Is it a diode? it could solve the problem?. Perhaps, the PCB, can have more damaged components, and the problem may be bigger.
2.- I think it's a Seagate F3 PCB, and i can't change the pcb for other identical one. (it's true?). Then:
3.- The third and last option that i have read is to get a similar pcb and transfer the old ROM (eight contacts component) to the new pcb and add the new pcb to the HDD, and try to conect back to the pc.
On this case, can this pcb be valid?

What do you think about it?
What can i do?
What can be the option?
What % of success I have?
Thanks for everything. I appreciate the help. I'm not sure how to fix this.
