I have a Maxtor One Touch 4 that stopped working. After taking it apart i saw that a few pieces were burned up on the 'motherboard'. I want to know if you can tell me what they are and if its just a soldering job to get done. This hard drive holds all my pictures and videos from my most recent deployment. Thanks for any help.:wave:

You can see the damage in the top and bottom left.

The housing circuitry is generally very poor in external Hdd's. You can get another external housing or a docking station if you want to continue using it externally.
To retrieve data from the drive, slave it into PC.
