I would contact Seagate support and ask them where you can get the part.

Yeah, that would be your best bet if you happen to have a clean room and the skill to swap out the circuit board. Otherwise I would do a little online research and see if you can find a company which will replace the circuit board for you.

The circuit board is on the outside of the drive. A clean room is not needed.

Give eBay a try. There are numerous postings there for just the circuit board.


Live and learn. Create backup copies of everything important.

As above try ebay, and dump seagate for WD as with WD they have a good RMA policy in place and I have found to be more reliable, actually the most reliable.
