Q: No info about HDD code and PCB for my Maxtor DiamondMax 16

Hi everyone, I’ve been looking everywhere about where I can get a replacement PCB for my hard drive. It is a Maxtor DiamondMax 16 120GB, and the code is RAMB1UU0. On the large IC, the number is 040108000. I can’t find any information relating to this PCB. Will a PCB with code RAMB1TU0 work with my hard drive? They are much more commonThe problem I’m having is an IC that is burnt. It is in the lower right corner when the board is viewed with the power and ide connectors facing away from me.
