Guaranteed Drive Compatibility

To ensure a successful repair, it is vital to match the PCB board not just by brand but by specific model and part numbers. This logic board is compatible with the Seagate U Series 9 80 GB hard disk drive, specifically model ST380012ACE. Please verify that your drive's part numbers match, including HDD P/N 9W6022 - 001 and HDA P/N 100275523. Mismatched boards can prevent the drive from functioning, so confirming these details before you order is the most important step in the process.

Authentic PCB Board Specifications

This circuit board features the primary marking 100277699 Rev A, which is the main identifier you should match with your original board. Additional markings on the board include 100282770 and an AGERE 4490D6 chip. These identifiers are unique to this specific version of the PCB and are key to confirming its suitability for your drive. The pictures provided are of the actual item you will receive, allowing you to visually verify every detail and component placement before making your purchase, ensuring complete confidence in what you get.

Critical Firmware Transfer Information

For this PCB board to work with your hard drive, a firmware transfer is typically required. This is because the unique adaptive data for your drive is stored on a ROM or NV-RAM chip on the original board. This chip must be carefully desoldered from your old PCB and re-soldered onto this replacement board. In some cases, the firmware might be located on the Main Controller IC. This procedure demands specialized soldering equipment and technical expertise, and it is not a simple plug-and-play swap.

Designed for Technical Experts

This product is intended for individuals with experience in electronics repair and data recovery. The process of transferring the firmware chip requires a steady hand, the right tools, and a solid understanding of PCB rework. If you are not comfortable with micro-soldering, it is highly recommended to seek professional assistance. This ensures the delicate components are not damaged during the transfer, maximizing your chances of a successful data recovery or hard drive repair. The board is available for those with the required skills.
