Hi all, many thanks for your advice so far. Here is a copy of my HDD. I need to know if I replace the PCB whether this will allow me to recover the files? Also how do I remove the PCB and where can I get a replacement PCB. If you have one please PM me so I can get this happening.

PS. I have tried sending emails to a company called Softcom in Malaysia but they have ben extremely enreliable and do not reply to any emails.

Regards
JT

My foto of the dead drive is in this thread. If you are able to supply the PCB let me know how much and email details. Thanks.

Hi

Your PCB does not havde an external ROM, so any Calypso III board with the same Ardent chip should work fine.

But if the HDA blows the new PCB, then u have a preamp problem.

Good Luck
