The question begs to be asked... How did you plug in the cable that only goes in one way backwards?

Yeppers on the Cap.
Most likely other damage you do not see other than the burnt edge near the cap.
It's most likely toast.

Thanks guys...that one is actually fine - the pic is on another hard drive.
Here's the one I broke-

Is there any way to find out how big a cap it is and temporarily replace it? Is it likely that the cap took the brunt of the damage?
Thanks,

HOW did you plug the cable in backwards? And thats a surface mount cap, you'll never replace it sucessfully. You can get a new curcuit board for it though.

A) I think I could replace it if I wanted to, but really I would just want to temporarily put another cap over it. I just need the data off.
B) Please tell me about ordering another circuit board. I just bought a drive off ebay that was manufactured only 7 days after my other one and it still didn't work.
Dan
then you probably damaged something inside the drive as wellOriginally posted by: dmurray14

even if you replace that cap with another one there's still no telling how much damage the other components took.

What is this component on this hard drive board? It blew out when I plugged the power cord in backwards. Stupid, I know. Is it a fuse?

I think you'd be very lucky if just replacing that cap fixes your problem. Even then, it's not an easy fix. Where do you plan on finding that cap? Not Radio Shack, I'm sure. Then you would have to know how to do surface mount soldering.
