Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

I receive this HDD dead from a customer. Managed to obtain another with matching model, Part No. & firmware version. With a PCB swap, the customer disk can now spin up but it times out being recognised in the Adaptec SCSI BIOS. Only once could I get it to detect with a warm boot, but data not accessible.
Is there other detail I need to match for a compatible PCB or any other suggestions to recover this?

Most Seagate SCSI drives have a translation corruption.
Typical synthoms are:
- Drive spins up
- Drive is detecte by SCSI adapter without size.
If so, you could try to resolved it using PC3000 SCSI Complex..... I have resolved over dozen drives that way.
If you don´t have pc3000 scsi complex, you should send it to someone who has it.
Good luck
