HDD GURU FORUMS

I need controller board to recover almost half a TB of data off this HD.
4061705089-001 rev. 07P
The HD spins up fine, so if I can get data off that I Need......I'm gonna just re-format the HD and either put it in my computer or get a generic case and make another externel HD.

Any help?

Thanks,
Brent

As long as your diagnosis is correct then a quick search on Ebay found:

This item support all- 001 REV.(A,AA,AG,A1,AF,AE,AB,AC,P,P1,P2,P3, ect,,)because the I.C chip is new Ver.,
It must support your old Rev. If not work,100%refund!!

Whats the inital fault?
Does the drive power up when connected to the USB bridge board?
If not then this link mybook-essential-pcb-burnt-t24590.html to fzabkar post regarding U6 might be worth a read?

Your HDD's problem may not caused by PCB. Please refer:
Damaged PCB has the below symptoms:
Damaged PCB always has the obvious burnt marks.
The HDD can't spin. You can't hear any noise or just hear a tick sound, which means the PCB is probably faulty.

Which HDD's problems are not caused by PCB:
HDD has a buzzing voice or a sound like it is trying to spin.
HDD can spin. However, it makes a lower clicking noise. It spins for a moment and then slow down.
HDD will power up normally (no ticking noises, errors etc) but will not be recognized by the computer
HDD will power up normally and be recognized correctly but will report a size of 0 bytes
HDD will power up but report SMART errors on boot

WRONG--------This is exactly what my HDD was doing. I ordered a new PCB from ebay in China for like 25 Bucks....took me a few weeks to get it. Once I GOT IT.....I replaced it on my HD,...plugged in and powered up, computer saw it,..then used a recovery software and BAM! RECOVERED the whole HD.

I think "hddzone" is presuming you mean the actual hard drive PCB, and not the USB bridge board.

He would have been correct if it had been the drives PCB, but as your problem was the USB bridge board it was irrelevant.

Anyway, glad you got your data ok!!
