How to fix a Maxtor hard drive. This is a Maxtor hard drive. It spins normal, and seeking track 0 normal as well, except that the computer would not pick it up. we thought it was firmware problem. we test it on PC3k, it says PCB problem. then we swap it with a donor PCB, problem fixed, all data back. Maxtor PCB compatible criteria: model number, main IC number,Code must be same. for this hard drive: model number : 4D040H2 Code: DAH017 Main IC number: 040104900 Different Brand hard drive, different family, different model, the compatible criteria is much different. some of them you can file a compatible PCB directly, some of them we have to do firmware transfer, some of them we have to fix the PCB directly. any question email to dataprobc@gmail.com good luck for your data recovery !
