Back in 2007 I had two of these hard drives that fried while in Vietnam. I assume it was the 220 voltage or the movement as an external hard drive. Either way they were toast.

This week I looked at them and decided to try and fix them. I went online and bought 2 of the same model refurb drives, with the numbers AHGHA and AFGHA on the back. When they arrived I traded out the PCB and tried to boot them. It worked! Half-way.

They both booted up and finally could be seen by the computer. But the computer also says there is nothing on them. They both are empty.

Where could the data have gone? How could this happen? I don't think there were any magnets near them in the last 5 years. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks.

The box was raid, but the drives were not. They were just hot-swappable so I could have two different drives running at all times. I think they were formatted for a mac, and I was accessing them from Firewire 800. I'm trying to get to them using USB now.

Can we see photos of your damaged boards? Often the problem is only a shorted protection diode (TVS) which can simply be removed.
