I need to find a source for PCB boards for a hatachi hard drive which
is 2 years old.. The mlc is h69555. I have looked on ebay and the
posters can not committ to the correct mlc.
My client has a toasted PCB and needs to get the photos of her very
ill child who went to disney with Make A Wish off the drive
The best bet might be to send it to a data recover expert... but it'll mean payment, just how much I can't say.
Changing the board may or may not put matters right if the motor bearings or platters are damaged... damage 'could' be caused by opening the case up as these are made in a 'clean air' environment.
The pcb that you get hold of could be of unknown quantity and ought to be tested first, if taking this route the better option would be to get a known good working drive so that you can be sure the pcb is ok.
I have this exact drive
IC25N080ATMR04-0
08K0635 MLC# H69555 with a good PCB
I am looking for a drive with good heads.
I do data recovery on these drives, maby we can make a trade.
Send me your drive along with a destination drive,
I will use my PCB to duplicate your drive and return the duplicate on your destination drive.
I will then use the heads from your drive to recover mine.
