I connected the wrong power supply to the drive. I have already tried it in another enclosure and it does not work.

The usual culprit (12V TVS diode) is identified in this photo:
http://www.media-itservices.com/burned1.jpg

If your diode is shorted, then remove it with flush cutters. The drive will work without it, but it will no longer have overvoltage protection on the +12V supply. The other large diode is the 5V TVS diode. You can replace the 12V TVS with an SMBJ12A, and the 5V TVS with an SMAJ5.0A. Farnell UK should stock both.

Get hold of a digital multimeter (US$10). Set in on the 200 ohms range and measure the resistances of each diode. If either diode measures close to 0 ohms, then remove it, otherwise leave it alone. You only need to replace the diode if you can't guarantee that you won't repeat your mistake. :-)

Hi
What would be the effects of fitting a board with a different firmware chip ?
Thanks

I'm not a DR guy, but AIUI there is the risk that fitting a non-native PCB could cause the NVRAM to be rewritten, thereby corrupting both the patient and donor.

I have just measured the resistance of the diodes and d3 is 0.9 ohms and d4 is open circuit. I have allso measured the voltage coming out of my usb adaptor and the red wire reads 4.9v and the yellow 12.7. Is it safe to remove d3 and give it a try or should I replace d3 before trying.
Thanks
Andy

Yes, that should be safe.

Yes, it's worth a shot. Ideally you should replace D3 as a safety option, but if the drive doesn't start up immediately then cut the power right away.

Hi all
Latest update I removed 12 v diode double checked voltage and gave it a try, the drive spun up but faster than I've ever heard one spin before so I unplugged. Looks like new pcb is needed. Thanks again for all the help.
