Narrative:

On takeoff from phx en route to sna we had an ECAM alert that autobrake failed. This warning was generated at around 80 KTS, during the takeoff roll. The takeoff was continued and after the takeoff phase maintenance was contacted. Maintenance advised that this particular aircraft had a 'slight history' of this problem. They said that they would have maintenance standing by to meet us upon arrival to sna. The rest of the flight, including descent and arrival was uneventful. Upon landing in sna the captain, who was PF, selected maximum reverse. During the rollout he exclaimed 'I don't have any brakes!' and almost simultaneously he selected the anti-skid and nosewheel steering switch from on to off then back on again. At this time the brakes locked up and we came to a quick stop. The tower advised that they observed smoke around our landing gear. We told tower to send the trucks. When they arrived they observed that there was no fire. They did observe that the right mains were on the rims and the left mains had large 'flat spots' and were partially deflated. The passenger were removed by bus to the terminal and maintenance took over the aircraft. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the cause of the brake failure was a wiring problem in the anti-skid system. The reporter said the wire or wires were found open. The reporter said maintenance did not specify what anti-skid connector or component had the broken wires.
