Hello, When I was still working with the local Seagate disty, we were able to resurrect a lot of dead drives, by just swapping out the HD electronics from an exact working model.
You need a set of torx tipped screwdrivers (fairly common today, because of cellphones). Once the drive spins up and is recognized, transfer the contents to a external device. We do the swap, just for the data. the defective unit is sent back for warranty repairs. REgards, -- ricky gonzalez ricky...@yahoo.com > So, your tech gets to still keep his job?
