wd3200 Recovery Help

[megaplow]

Honestly this one was unexpected.
I was doing a favor for a friend and rebuilding their computer. She and I both had wd3200's so I wanted to make sure the OS went on my drive and not hers full of data. I used an external usb device to try and mount and read her drive to make sure I knew which drive was what. Long story short, the usb drive thing blew up part of the circuit board on the drive. I really need to get the data off this drive any help would be much appreciated. Can I just swap out the proper circuit board from another drive? Should I take it to a shop? What will is cost? I would rather do it at home.

Humbly Yours,
Joe

It's better to ask a pro... Assuming the preamp is not ko, you have to find a suitable pcb and also swap rom. Good luck.

I think preamp is dead too
If you going to swap PCBs don't forget to solder original ROM chip onto donor's PCB

you need to solder ROM chip.
First because of ROM revision and second because of adaptives
