Hi, my first post Smile

I was looking for information on my hard drive, and stumbled upon this forum (great work), and decided to ask for the help of those who know.

I've been working on IT for a few year's, but i'm unable to diagnose what is wrong with a hard drive once it fail's, so here i am, asking for your help.


This drive was on an external case, Iomega, connected to my home server with a usb cable. Last night i was changing some stuff around the server and accidentally touched the power cable, it made that electrical sound, but the server went on with it's business, but the external casing of the hard disk disconnected, to never work again, i guess something was burnt.

I dissassembled the hard drive from the external casing, to plug it directly in the server board, on the first time it recognized the hard disk, when i realized i only had 1 sata connector, occupied by the server's boot disk. Turned it all off, went to the local store, got myself a new sata cable, but when i turned it on i slightly touched the server chassie with the hard drive. From then on the hard drive spins up, but the server won't recognize it, and it keeps making a weird noise. It loops around and around, never stoping.

Here's the video.

The PCB seems ok, i see nothing burned, but that's not a fact Smile

Any expert advice? Smile

Is it mechanical? Is it the PCB?

Thank you for any input Smile

First thing you should try is to find a matching board for your drive.
Same model
Same firmware
and if possible same P/N

Barracuda 7200.10
Firmware: 3.AAD
P/N: 9BJ136-xxx
ST3xxx830AS

If board swap won't help, seek for professional assistance if your data is worth it.
