Hi Folks,

I got a toshiba 1TB 2.5" drive from 2014 and there is no power getting into the PCB so i suspect there is a PCB damage, please see picture on this link:

Problem is that i never seen this PCB layout before, did anyone had experience with such?
Where are the Diodes if their's any at all?
Where is the ROM chip?

Any advise would be great.

Cheers

hi dima,
it was few months ago, i don't have the drive any more, but it was one of the hybrid type with FLASH on the PCB.

Ive seen a few of these, probably it was model like mq01ABF050h. I never saw one with bad PCB, but it looks like it doesn't have an external ROM so it would be interesting.
