Soundscu, I didn't see your photo. Could you provide a link to it?

BTW, the fact that the drive spins up would suggest that the board is most probably OK, in which case you would have wasted your money on a replacement. However, I'm not a data recovery guy, just someone trying to help.

Hi,

I'm hoping somebody has a pcb for a Seagate Momentus 5400.6 160GB HDD. This is not for high-value data recovery, so I'm looking to spend less than the cost of a new drive, including shipping, etc.

The exact drive modle is ST9160314AS, it came out of a cheap Gateway netbook.

Thanks for your help!
Jim

Can you describe the failure symptom?

If you upload a detailed photo, one of us may be able to help you repair your board, or at least confirm that the problem isn't elsewhere.

When connected to a PC, the drive spins up -- I can hear the whir and feel the vibration in the frame. The PC does not recognize the presence of the drive at all.

IMO "spins up" is not compatible with "heads are stuck to platters or motor failed"
