I had the same sympthomes with burned pcb on a HD321KJ drive.. But these pcbs keeps burning.. What happening it that the solder pads will change from a normal color to a black burned color.. There is also a chances that the controller will likely be dead or burned as well.. The drive wont even recognized anymore.
These drives are very vulnerable for power surges and power overheating..
This drive is from the T166 series.. Please dont buy nor use them.. Its just a wast of time and probably a high chance of failure rate..
~ At least it can do black and white~
