I have a 400GB Seagate drive that I use as a backup drive. Long story short, I set it resting inside the case, and when I plugged it in, I shorted one of the components on the PCB board.
My questions are these:1. Can the fried component be removed and the drive used anyway? (probably not, but worth a shot)
2. Can the fried component be replaced, if so, what exactly is it?
3. I believe the board can be replaced, with a board with the same processor & revision #. Is this correct?
3.5. If the above is correct will this replacement board do the trick?
