n 4060-705002-001rev.a) but no response. What happened is I accidentally put in my laptop power adapter (19v) instead of the Western Digital adapter (12v) so I most likely have fried my power board. I know I can remove the hard drive and put in into a pc, but I only have a laptop...! So I'd really love to repair it. Any ideas? Thanks - Ken (P.S. Also it would be good if the new designs had a unique sized power plug on the WD adapter...to prevent this happening)

You can't replace it, there are no replacement parts for it. If something failed you replace the entire case. So just get a new one from here

Just match the size and type of your hard disk - in your case an 3,5" and SATA.
