HTS541212H9AT00 donor question

April 25th, 2008, 6:57

Dears,

I have Hitachi 2,5" drive: HTS541212H9AT00 with bad head. I can not find any donor to swap head. I tried to find also:
HTS541210H9AT00
HTS541280H9AT00
as the HDDs with the same architecture, but with no results.
Do you know if any kind of different models are suitable to replace a head?

I would be very appreciated for any suggestions.

Regards,
Rafael

Well, please use the same model to change the head. Otherwise, you may damage the platter and no chance to recover data.

Best Regards

Laura
