Deskstar - Heads crashed/bent, what are odds to get this?

December 9th, 2009, 8:29

Just got Hitachi Deskstar HDT725025VLA380 with all heads damaged. There are microscopic scratches on the top surface, didn't look at other ones, but they are probably similar or worse. Any point replacing heads for that? Who could do it for reasonable price?

Here is a picture of heads:

I have crappy camera and it wouldn't focus on platter properly (always focusing on reflections) so I couldn't take pics of scratches.

Had allready some similar cases.
Sometimes i was lucky and they imaged well, other times could not image at all.
