I accidentally inserted the power connector backwards in my Maxtor hard drive (split second contact) and a chip on the PCB started glowing. Can you provide a PCB that would allow me to recover the data on this HDD? I can provide any details needed.
If your HDD can’t spin, you can swap PCB to try.
You can send your PCB’s clear photos to check.
Yes it no longer spins. I have attached pictures to this email. You’ll noticed the damaged chip on the top left of the board.
Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Just need to swap the PCB.
