Hard Drive Circuit Board

[WalkByFaith46]

Hi guys,

For some reason my HDD stopped working and im thinking it might be the Circuit board, as there was no bad sectors on the drive and wasnt really used that much and was mounted in my machine permanently.

If someone could assist me in getting SAMSUNG HD103SJ Circuit Board id much appreciate it.

Do you have EPROM programmer or software tools to transfer content of the chip which holds essential data for your hard drive?

Does the drive spin up at all?

If the drive does spin up when you apply power it's 99.9% NOT the PCB.

If the drive doesn't spin at all and you hear no noises from it whatsoever when you apply power, then there's a very good chance it IS the PCB.

no its completely dead, no sound at all so it must be the PCB but what would cause it to just randomly fail? i have the drive for about a year & 1/2 now...
