I am trying to revive a Toshiba HD 2188 hard drive. It is a MK8025GAS B ZE01 T. ( This is my friend's hard drive, he can't afford a data recovery place, so I am doing my best here) Here is the story. The laptop got some water on it, and then all it would do is a continuous booting cycle. I Have his identical laptop, so i tried his hard drive in mine, and it pretty much did the same thing. I tried to run checkdisk, and it said " it has one or more unrecoverable errors" The hard drive would not spin on startup. I located a PCB, with the same model and firmware number that I stated, the only difference being the the controller chip. My controller chip is 88i5510-BCJ1, the controller chip in the new board is 88i5510-BCJ. I installed the new board, and put it in the laptop. The laptop would not recognize a hard drive being installed ( it did with the old board) but the hard drive spun up and ran without a problem ( which it did not do with the old board) This is where I am now. I am trying to locate a board with the same controller chip now. Given what I have done so far, could I possibly recover the info on the disk? I posted this question on another hard drive forum, and 1 guy told me to replace the cpu chip, another told me to replace the IC12 eeprom chip. The fact that I got the drive to spin gives me hope. I think this may be fixable. Any suggestions?
