Seagate ST500LM000 1EJ162-542 LVD5 9147 D SATA 2.5 PCB (Logic Board)

This listing is for the hard drive circuit board (PCB / logic board) ONLY — no hard drive is included. Because we stock large quantities, the exact board you receive may differ slightly from the photo. Purpose: This PCB is intended for hard drive repair or data recovery work. Replacing a PCB can fix some failures, but compatibility is critical. Please consult our Donor Matching Guide to confirm this part matches your drive. Important: Most Seagate PCBs store unique, mandatory information in the ROM (memory) chip. That ROM data must be transferred or copied to the replacement board for the drive to operate correctly. If the ROM chip can be physically moved to the new board, a local computer technician can usually perform the transplant. Alternatively, the ROM contents can be reprogrammed onto the replacement PCB. Services and DIY help: If you plan to swap the board yourself, review our PCB Replacement Guide first. For customers spending $60 or more, we provide a complimentary adaptation service — either transplanting the ROM chip onto the new PCB or reprogramming the replacement board with the correct ROM data. If a simple PCB swap does not resolve the problem, we also offer a full PCB Replacement Service to cover more complex needs; see the Adaptation Service page for details.
