I have a Seagate ST3250410AS (P/N 9EU142-310) with a damaged PCB caused by a PC power supply failure (will not spin up). I have attached photos of the drive and both sides of the PCB.
It looks like you sell this PCB as board “2” in the listing below. Can you confirm if this is the correct replacement board for my drive?
Can you also confirm if a BIOS or ROM chip swap would be required or if the replacement board could simply be installed? My board does not appear to have an 8 pin BIOS chip.
I am assuming that the internal components of the hard disk are still OK.
ST3250410AS Seagate PCB 100468303 REV A – It is your donor PCB.
The BIOS needs to be changed.
The board I have is like the one shown below “Without BIOS”.
Would a chip still need to be changed if mine does not have the 8 pin BIOS chip?
The PCB’s BIOS is integrated into the Main Controller IC. You should exchange the Main Controller IC to let the HDD be recognized. Move the Main Controller IC(the biggest chip on the board) is a complex job which need you have certain technique. Some electronics repair shop can do it.
