Seagate ST500LM000 SATA 2.5 PCB — 1EJ162-025 (HKR1, 1596 F)

This listing is for the hard drive circuit board (PCB / logic board) ONLY — No hard drive included. Part numbers and identifiers: ST500LM000, 1EJ162-025, HKR1, 1596 F; intended for Seagate SATA 2.5 drives. Because we stock a large number of PCBs, the exact board you receive may differ slightly from the photo. These replacement boards are sold for HDD repair and data recovery work. Before purchasing, confirm that a PCB swap will resolve your issue by following our hard drive diagnostics guide and checking compatibility with the Donor Matching Guide. Most Seagate PCBs contain unique ROM memory data required for the drive to operate correctly; the ROM chip or its contents must be transferred to the replacement board. If the ROM chip can be physically moved, a local computer technician can usually perform the transplant. For orders of $60 or more we include a complimentary adaptation service that either moves the ROM chip onto the new PCB or reprograms the board with the correct ROM data. If you plan to perform the replacement yourself, review our PCB Replacement Guide. Should a simple board swap not fix the problem, we also provide a full PCB Replacement Service — see the Adaptation Service page for details.
