Be more specific.
You can feel what from its PCB? Heat? Cold? Electricity? Intoxication?
Assuming the drive does not spin, is it drawing power? Does the rest of the computer power on correctly with the drive installed?

yes its just the drive which is not getting any power so i assume that its the PCB which is burned cus the PC in on now as i speak , and i even tried it with an external SATA box and nothing happened...
thanks for the reply

Do you have a multimeter to test the PCBs components? What happened to the HDD to caus failure? Does HDD emit any strange noises when power is applied? Does BSY light show when HDD is attached to MHDD?

actually the HDD does nothing when power is applied ... there is no noise nor heat on the PCB
and i dont have multimeter to test the PCB components
so wat can i do in such case?!!!
