Since a few weeks my PC would shut down/reboot randomly. This saturday the PC finally died, so diagnosis became suddenly a lot easier :lol: .
I traced the fault to a defective harddisk. I could measure that this harddisk short circuits the +12V line to ground. I removed the PCB (in ESD safe workshop) and found that the problem must be somewhere on the PCB.
I don`t plan on repairing the PCB itself, but I would like to replace it to get my data off the disc. I`ll buy a new disc of the same size for this purpose.
Befor I run to the shop: is it possible to replace the PCB and get my data off? Is same firmware version or P/N needed?

The trouble was your power supply that finally fried the pcb, I bet. +12v with poor filtering, likely dried/leak caps. For the rest, search the forum.

People expect someone to answer their questions in full, without doing any research.

Actually, I did a search but that didn`t came up with the results I expected. I only found something about a short to ground in some diode.
Sometimes it`s hard to come up with the correct search words...
If this question comes up so many times and you guys are sick of answering it, why not put it in a FAQ in the data recovery and repair area?
