Replacement PCB for my DiamondMax 10 250GB HDD

My Hardrive has no Bad sectors and never had a problem ... Until suddenly It refused to Power up. It seems like one of the switching transistors have blown up ... and need to be replaced on the PCB underneath the drive(Where we Plug in the IDE Cable & teh Power supply). The reason why I feel that is because the HDD seems to be spinning(very Slightly) in intervals every 5 seconds and then stops(While I Boot up the PC. Due to inefficient power supply the drive is now not recognized in the Bios. I may be wrong but would really think I do need a replacement as the 8MB buffer also used to have a hadware Malfunction as I get a BSOOD in windows stating a Problem and Physical Memory Dump ... and I have tried installing brand new RAM Modules in Single and Dual channel modes. Even Re-Installing teh OS ... no luck. Another Samsung Hardrive works perfectly on Both my OLD and New Ram Modules ... Same OS(Win-XP professional). I'm Now looking for that Board to solve my problems. Can you tell me How do I go about finding a replacement board. Thanking you

Best bet would be to look on ebay and buy a working used drive and swap the boards as these surface mount devices are hard to tell what they were when they go nuclear.

My computer burned 2 hdd

After i Read your Explaination,i really sure if the Problem is at your Computer POWER SUPPLY.
Change your Power Supply to Higher Watt.
i Recomended to you to Using SIMBADA Power Supply ATX.
and to Fix your HDD bad Sector,Try to use LLF (Low Level Format).
LLF will destroy all data and Partition.So after you Format using LLF,you need to make a New partition at your HDD.
LLF is Working for me to Fix Bad Sector in a So many times.

Hii have a Samsung hdd. Due to some bad sectors not it says that "boot media not recognised....abortretrycancel...". even I tried to fix it with other pc but it is not recognised even there. So how can I...

Hi,
first run the samsung diagnostics on the harddrive to check the drive integrity weather or not its repairable. Then you can low level format the hardrive to fix any bad sectors

My hard drive is going bad. So says my HP Compaq dc7100 SFF

Instead of posting here, why don't you look for a dealer.
You can buy hard drives just about anywhere now - and it doesn't have to be Maxtor.

Many Bad Sectors fat32, trying recovery disk

Hi,

It sounds like your HDD is faulty, usually a hardrive can operate with bad sectors but still a risk.

My best advice would be to get a new HDD and recover back on to the new one, even if you did manage to recover onto your current one you may still have problems in the future.

I usually only allow a HDD to fail S.M.A.R.T tests 3 times over any given period and then I just replace them.

Thanks

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 45 7200 RPM 30.7 GB HDD suddenly makes clicking sound when started and will not be recognized by Win XP OS. The drive had been working flawlessly. Any suggestions?

Clicking sounds is an indication that the platters have a bad device internally. Once that happens the hard drive is no good, run the serial# on Maxtors website to see if its still under warranty, gd lk

I have a maxtor 250gb hard drive. Don't know what model. 2005' era. It's in an external case, the blue light (power) comes on, but the red light (loading) won't come on. So I can't get the computer to read the drive. How can I make this work? Should I remove it from the case and slave it? Or are there any other ideas? I've tried different power cords and usb plugs already. Thanks!

Maxtor 6L250R0 external USB drive not recognized on bootup I'm using this Maxtor HDD as a storage device for a desktop with Win 98SE on board and a laptop with WinXP. It was the only one I could find that could accommodate both. Usually I hook up the Maxtor before turning on either machine but during startup the Maxtor keeps clicking, it appears to be looking for a driver or something. After awhile it gives up. Windows Explorer sometimes finds it on the desktop but clicking on it doesn't produce any results other than a sporadic click now and then.... and then quiet. My laptop doesn't find the Maxtor at all. BTW the Maxtor performed well when I first got it a couple of years ago, it's just recently that it's been acting up.
