				Hello.
 
 
Well it all Started when i (STUPIDLY) plugged in my Slave HDD when the PC waz on and it Shorted out so i Quickly pulled the Power Cord Out.  When i plugged it back in and turn the power on the Power Plug wire on the PSU Melted. I pulled the PCB off and i blew a Diode near the Power Plug
 
 
When i stumbled on this Great site my Confidence on getting my HDD working again Sky Rocketed when i read i could possibly change the PCB Board i made sure i got the Right Firmware Number and same Part number. Today waz the day i finally got the same HDD so i swapped em round and the drive sounds like its spinning but also making wierd noises but is not recognized in Bios or Windows.
 
 
So all in all Where can i go from here??  Im not prepared to spend $1500+ on data Recovery, ANY!! Help would be Greatly Appreciated
 
 
Details on HDD
 
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10
 
ST380215A

Cheers Again

				Even if you found a correct board, you will have to reprogram it with original ROM info or transfer ROM chip to a new board. _________________ www.datarecoveryne.com |
