First off, thank you to the site administrator for creating this site else I never would have known that this was possible.
I was using a Belkin external HD with my 200GB Maxtor 16MB Buffer drive when all of a sudden the drive stopped working. At first I thought it was my USB ports on my computer but realized that the drive was no longer spinning. I got very nervous considering my undergrad notes as well as all of my law school notes were backed up on that drive as I was in the process of formatting my system.
After stumbling upon your site (go google!) I found out about your process of finding the exact PCB and swapping them. I searched all over the city, trying both the 200GB 8mb PCB and the 250GB 16mb PCB which both didn't work. I then went to another store where I looked through 15 boxes of 16MB 6L200R0 drives. The last box I opened (had to be) was made maybe a month apart from mine with the exact same chipsets. I quickly bought the drive, brought it home, performed the swap and I have all my hard work back again.
Once again, to the site administrator: I thank you and owe you a great deal of gratitude. |
