Hi all
I have a Hitachi Notebbok drive giving me a trouble
It is recognised in the bios but fails to read.
it has also lost all referance to the serial number.
is this a bad module? and if so any ideas on how to resolve the problem?
The PCB is fine and tested oK.

Cheers :)

Heads will be ok... I have recovered data from these drives easily. I am sorry that I cannot give specifics to my recovery technique..... Maybe you can use Hot-swap??

Hehe Toshiba eh! Nice drive ....... Yes typicaly problems will either hang PC or just not mount. Can't swap PCB , important data on it, linked to the de! Maybe try hardware clone and not PC based. Thats all I can say... :teeth:

Head exchange is pretty easy on most 2 1/2 inch drives. If they have load/unload ramp it's a simple process :D

Guru, thank for your reply.
What I mean by "HS" is "Hot-swap" instead of "head exchange".
Thanks again.

No problems, but you will find lots of errors typicaly with hot swap.... But at least you got the data back

:good:

Hi, Guru,
Sorry, I do not get it.
What is the hot swap? How do you do it?
Thanks again.
Happy New year.

Hi HD2003,

I see you did not get an answer on HS

"HOT-SWAP procedure (changing the board with the power supply turned on)."

http://www.acelab.ru/products/pc-en/dtextractor.html

Do this with care and only when it is necessary.
