Hi, i was wondering if any one could help, i have a seagate Barracuda ata iv model ST340016a
serial - 3hs6lwmy
part no - 9t6002-132
firmware 3.75
site code - AMK

the pcb is burnt out and i wanted to do a swap, i found a drive with the same part number same firmware, same site code but when fitted to the drive it just clicks is there any thing i can do to stop this co configure the board to work ?

Thanks for your help in advance

It seems like whatever blew the PCB also blew the preamp inside the drive. DIY had gone as far as it will on this case. I can help in UK, but not for free!

see here.... almost the same... oppps multi post >.<

I don't know about the "two resistors", but the 2P102 IC appears to be part of the negative regulator for the preamp inside the HDA.

ISTM that expensive professional data recovery may be your only option.

For absolute confirmation, you should use your multimeter to test for shorts at the preamp connector. Locate the preamp pin(s) that connect to pins 1 and 2 of the IC. That will be your negative supply rail. Then measure the resistance between this pin and ground.

ok, thanks so much for your help i will have a look at the weekend.
