I have a Samsung 500GB hard drive that stopped working unexpectedly. I noticed a small puff of smoke. Took it out and when I looked at the back of the drive I found a burnt component (which I am trying to identify) on the PCB. Some of my research has suggested it may be a TVS Diode. If it is, what info do I need for a replacement? Will any diode work? I have tried searching for the numbers and letters together and separate with no luck. Requests sent to Samsung for a new PCB have not been answered. Does anybody have a number or web address that they answer?
Illustrated in the picture below (click to enlarge) are arrows pointing to the bad part #1 and arrows pointing to #2 a similar component that appears to be alright. Thank you!
#1 is pointing to the burnt out part with the following info on it (as best as I can make it out)
