When old hard drives die, it's most often due to the heads/platter of course, but more often than you'd think, it's the PCB on the drive that has failed, and if you swap the PCB (it's strictly mechanical and trivial to do for most drives, though a few are just about impossible) the drive may work again. So, look for a used drive of the exact same type on eBay, and swap the boards. It's a strange feeling to see it come back to life. --Bob Prosperi |
