Hello,
I have a Seagate ST3500312CS where is dead because overvoltage of the power supply. When I unscrew the PCB I saw that three capacitors (or maybe ferrite beads) where blown out. Do you have any idea if I have a possibillity to fix it. The problem is that I have an industrial custom PC where recognizes only the disk with the certain only firmware (it is crazy but it is true). Does anyone knows where the firmware of the disk is saved (I have another segate disk but with different firmware and I thought If I could replace the firmware chip in the good one). Anyway I would like to fix it (always there is something new to know in repairs), so there is any schematic of HDDs or what to suggest me to check it will be very helpful?
