If you upload a detailed photo, one of us may be able to help you repair your board. Many times the problem is only a shorted diode, in which case it can simply be removed.

The following vendor offers a board, plus firmware transfer, for US$70:

When replacing PCBs, you need to transfer the 8-pin flash memory chip at location U12 from patient to donor. This chip stores unique, drive specific information.

Hi, Pls let me know the exact PCB number which was started as 2060-.....-00? REV ? , pls contact my hotmail.

Thanks, Eric.

Thanks for the replies fzabkar and networkpc300. I can take photos, what do you need to me to take pictures of? Let me know and I'll do it ASAP.

I would be willing to pay the $70 if I cannot do it myself. However, do those boards that they offer need to have the same DCM number?

Well like a giant noob I plugged my hard drive in while computer was on, there were sparks and the hard drive is now dead. Thinking about trying to replace the PCB. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I would be willing to pay the $70 if I cannot do it myself. However, do those boards that they offer need to have the same DCM number? The DCM is important when matching internal components. In your case the following board should work, assuming there is no internal damage: http://www.hdd-parts.com/11010901.html You need to transfer the chip at location U12 to your donor board. Otherwise the supplier includes a firmware transfer for US$20: http://www.hdd-parts.com/20091010.html

Here are some high quality photos, as requested. Is there anything visibly wrong?

Motor IC looks fried, and also the MCU appears to have possibly heated up abnormally. Use any 2060-001335-005 PCB (usually 005 not necessary, but "just in case") and transfer the U12 chip. If the drive still does not spin up then either U12 is dead (very very rare) or your solder job was bad (more likely ) If the drive spins up and clicks, then you have preamp issues. Bad news and beyond DIY

Thank you pcimage and fzabkar. It looks like I may have to order from the supplier because I don't have any tools to transfer the U12 chip. I was thinking about contacting one of my electrical engineer friends, but it seems risky to try to do this myself.
