Hi,

Thanks alot for this great website. I tried swapping the logic board of my Hitachi 180GXP with a new logic board from a hard disk that I managed to find on Ebay.

Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I was able to confirm that the problem comes from the logic board, but I guess there is a problem with the firmware or something. When I started the disk, it started buzzing (whereas with the dead logic board, the drive power on). But then I hear some sort of clicking sound, and the drive cannot be recognised in the BIOS.

Anyway, hope this is useful to you people Smile. It is time for me to call the data recovery services and pay a s***load of money...

cheers

Hmm, I wonder if the voltages are the same for both drives? It has been a while since I came across this, but I vaguely recall noticing on older drives that sometimes the voltages on the drives were different. Not very probable, but might be worth a look see anyway. Reason I suggest this is because if the hard drive is *buzzing* instead of powering on, sounds like it is not getting enough power to spin up?
