HDD GURU FORUMS

Hi !

My HDD is dead cause i did touch it in operation.

My mother card doesn't reconize him anymore and does not spin.

This is his spec, but i don't know all of it

Model : HD103SJ
S/N : S246J1KZ203460

I bought it in Paris, 07/21/2010 (almost 1 year)

So :
What PCB must i buy to remplace mine (cause i don't know the spec i have to check, plz check the picture)
Chere can i buy it ?

Thanks you very much for your help.

PS: If you need more picture, just tell me

Hi

If you have a multimeter first of all check the diodes.

To match a pcb you need the same pcb letters and the close date possible.
You have a sticker covering the drive date.. tell us the date of this drive.

Regards

What do you mean in PCB letter ? The number on the main chip
(K4H561638J-LCCC) ? (cf picture number 5)

I have only one sticker on my HDD, you can see 46080.40 . Is your drive date you are talking about ?

The K4H561638J-LCCC chip is the SDRAM.

The "main" chip is the Marvell MCU, 88i9025-TFJ2.

The drive's manufacture date is under the 46080.40 sticker.

From an examination of the date codes on the various ICs, I would expect a manufacturing date of around January or February 2010.

BTW, hdrescue is asking you to check the TVS diodes:

Repost to the repair forum if you need more help in this regard. You may not need a PCB ...

You're right , the production date under the sitcker is 2010.02

For the diode, i don't understand ? What do I have to check ? Cause i don't have a multimeter....

To resume this is the specs ive to looking for :

Main chip : Marvell MCU, 88i9025-TFJ2
Production date : 02/2010 (close as possible)

BTW, a digital multimeter should cost you less than US$10. In fact here is a DMM for $5:

A friend of mine will lend me one.

I will test the diode.

Is there a tuto somewhere ? Or must i post on repair section.

OK, i will repost in the repair section,

Btw, is somebody sold the PCB , if i can't repair it ?

we have this pcb in stock and many more

Samsung's donor PCB should have the same board number as the damaged board. The board number is etched on the PCB, begin with BF41-
