I need some help in getting my hard drive to work again. I have a Western Digital Caviar SE hard drive and my logic card burnt up (a small pin hole in one of the ic's). I called WD and they said that they would have any spare parts for any of their hard drives and for me to take it to a data recovery location. I was told that it could cost anywhere from $200 to $2000 to recover. All I have on the drive is digital photos and music. Could anyone help me track down a logic card(I think that's what it is called. It'd the little pc on the drive unit). Here is all the information on the drives label:

The following vendor charges US$70 for a board, including ROM transfer:
