Does anyone know of a good place to buy replacement boards for hard disks?

I am currentlylooking for a Maxtor Draco II 301283100

Thanks

The best place would be this forum if someone would have he would contact u .

What is model of drive?

It is a Maxtor 52049U4 20GB

The codes on the front of the drive give the following info:

HDA = 04A
PCBA = 03A
Unique = 24A
Code = DA620CQ0

Ok, I have some 52049U4 PCB's.

What's the 5 digit ROM code from the little white label on the PCB (e.g. A4DKB)

yes also tell me i also have many of these drives .

Hello,

Sorry, but I have not been on line for a while..

Right, the code on (the one on the large square chip on the PCB) is A3DKP3. It was this main chip that was damaged...

I was told 2 days ago in a discussion with a company that does this kind of thing that I need to match 3 specific codes on a similar drive, these are as follows:

HDA = 04A
PCBA = 03A
Unique = 24A

Also, the main code on the PCB (the specific one under where it says Maxtor Draco II) is 301283100.

I am wondering if by matching this I will find a PCB that was made at the same time, and therefore hopefully be near enough identical.

Thanks for you help

Hi,
BTW what was the initial problem with the drive?

pepe

if the pcb is dead it would be better if u would repair the pcb , because this pcb is really hard to find .

unfortunately the main PCB in the centre of the board is damaged, I seriously doubt I could remove and replace it

You can always try here: http://stores.benl.ebay.be/Marcs-Vintage-Electronics

I add drives on a regular basis.
For the moment this drive is not in the store, but that can change quickly

Regards,

Dobre

I have that drive. I was just helping a friend and we rummaging through my box of old drives. I looked this one up to see how big it is

Anyway, on the circuit board it says
Maxtor
DRACO II
301283100

Are you still interested in it?
