Data Recovery - Seagate Barracuda 3000GB - No Bios Chip

[I-Need-Help]

Hello All,

Long story short, PCB Died on my Seagate Barracuda 3000GB, ordered replacement board and sent it to a guy who works from home to swap the bios chip over to the new donner board.

Couldn't get in touch with him for a long time and finally found out he has sold the house and moved, not responding to emails or phone calls.

Now, I have no BIOS chip, is it possible to recover the data from the hard drive without the bios chip? Details below.

What would it cost to recover?

Model: ST3000DM001
PN: 1CH166-571
FW: CC43

Date 13093

PCB:
100687658 REV B

Cheers

Nik

Hello,
i can recover rom for some seagate families, but starting with 1CH grenada i could not find one parameter in RAP which kinda makes the recovery impossible.
there are some sad conclusions to this case... :s
