- Replacement PCB for Maxtor DimondMax Plus 9
- Posted by Pure Chaos on March 22nd, 2007
My Maxtor SATA drive died a while back, but I still have some data on it I
would like to get my hands on. However that does not justify going to an
data recovery expert because it's too expensive. What I was wondering is if
I can get an replacement PCB board now or used, does not matter.
I suspect that the HDD's motherboad died because there's a pretty hot chip
on it if I power it now. Replacing just the chip is out of the question
because I'll kill it totaly
Can you point me on a newsgrup or forum where I could find a used HDD
motherboard?
The specs of the drive are:
Maxtor DimondMax Plus 9
SATA
80GB
code: YAR51BW0
6Y80M003520B
Mfg.Date: 27MAY2003
Made in Singapore
*** And last question. Main reason for HDD death is overheating, but can it
also be from low quality power supply? Can low or overvoltage cause bad
sectors?
THNX!

Not really. Buy noise and power-spikes may be able to.

Nope.
Can it what: kill the drive or cause bad sectors.
The babblebot clueless, as always.
Like power-spikes are not "low or overvoltage".
And they will be logical bad sectors, not physical.
