Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

Advice needed.
I have blown Motor Unit (I believe) on an ancient Samsung 2204D Voyager Drive
I have attached a stock image here of the board with the damaged area marked.
I can't see an external ROM, so was wondering if it's embedded and which chip it is I need to move or transfer?
TIA

Actually, got a picture now of the actual board.

I doubt it's even necessary to transfer the ROM on such an old drive. If you get a matched PCB from the same FW version drive, it'll probably just work.

The motor controller appears to be damaged on the 5V side, so I would be worried about the preamp.
Edit: I'm not sure now. This is an earlier design.

Thank you Mikippp, Jared and Fzabkar for all the replies.
I quoted a price range just in case there were internal issues.
I think there is a chance PCB change would probably do it, but the customer isn't interested due to cost.
As reported here, I have had quite a few drives recently with blown boards and subsequently needed to change the HSA as the preamps got blown.
Cheers again!
Louis
