I have one of these with failed heads.

I have a few potential donors, but none which precisely matches the failed drive.

Can anyone tell me which are the parameters that have to match?


Thanks

Hi,
You should match Firmware, Country and third character in alphabetic code type X, X, X, X.

Odie,

Not wanting to teach my grandmother to suck eggs, but I assume you checked the PCB first?

These things have a habit of making nasty clunking noises when the PCB is gone, I find 80% of them have bad PCB, rather than heads.

If not, I got a load of these drives, working. Give me the details and I'll check for a match.

Cheers

Sean

Hi,

replacement heads of quantums and quantum-like maxtors (D540X-4K, D740X-6L) usually need some alignment before they can be used...
