				|  Posted: Sun Oct 09, 2011 10:53 pm    Post subject: Dead Hard Drives and PCB boards |   |  
				| 
 |  
				| I have some old hard drives that have PCB Circuit board failure but would like them fixed for experimental purposes. 
 I have different branded drives that are 3.5 inch, IDE and SATA.
 
 The hard drive details are below.  Any PCB boards will be appreciate.  If not then a dead hard drive that I can take the parts out.
 
 IBM / Hitachi Deskstar
 HDS722580VLAT20
 HDS722540VLSA80
 
 SEAGATE ST3400832A Barracuda
 
 MAXTOR 7850AV
 
 Western Digital WD WD400BD-75JMA0
 
 ExcelStor J840
 
 As you can see from the above list the drives are old and I am confident that there are readers who either have dead drives or boards that are stored away.  if so and are willing to give them a second life that will be put to good use and be used for educational purposes.
 
 please get in touch
 
 I am based in the UK
 Please PM me for more details
 
 Thanks

				| I have a SATA external hard drive. It is not detected by the PC. Sometimes it says it cannot be detected. But sometimes it says that it is installed but can actually perform faster. Both the times I cannot see it being displayed as a drive in my computer. Please help me.
