I have an old computer with a Samsung sp1604n and the PCB caught on fire. Pretty common for these HDDs, I've read...
But yeah, the PCB caught on fire and it didn't work anymore, obviously.
So, since I have some important files in there, I was searching for a fix and one of the possible fixes was to replace the PCB with another one of the same model, so I did. I knew there was a bigger chance of it not working than the opposite, but I gave it a try.
I bought the same drive (sp1604) but since this was my first hard drive related problem, I wasn't aware of the firmware issues... The old one was tm100-24 while this new one is tm100-23.
If anyone knows where can I get the firmware (if I can) and how to change it, I'd appreciate it.
I've been looking around and found nothing but a similar one which I'm not sure if it would work - sp1614n-tm100-24
Thanks in advance for the help.
