Hey my 120 gig was in a mac. Stopped working. put in external and hooked up to PC using MacDrive (Mediafour) to read it.
Does not show up at all
Does not show up under computer->management->Discdrives (Even as not formatted)
Does not show up in bios


I know the following.
The platter is not scratched.
I tried freezing it. - nothing
The head is not stuck

It spins up at power, then the head clicks twice, and it slows.
It repeats this process 6-8 times then stops.

Is this a head problem? I am not going to use a professional recovery service.
Would replacing the head help? or could it be somthing else?

Do I have to use the exact model number and Part number?

I have FUJITSU MHV2120BH CA06672-B55600AP
But I have found

Fujitsu 120GB SATA CA06672-B25600C1 MHV2120BH PL
Fujitsu 120GB SATA CA06672-B29600SN MHV2120BH PL
Fujitsu 120GB SATA CA06672-B35600TW MHV2120BH PL
Fujitsu 120GB SATA CA06672-B276000T MHV2120BH PL

ok, then I am on the right track.

Do I have to have an exact match for the donor?

Could one of those listed earlier still work?

you can try the model that you have.

This is the broken on that I have and need a donor for:
FUJITSU MHV2120BH CA06672-B55600AP

These are those that are as close as I can find:
Fujitsu 120GB SATA CA06672-B25600C1 MHV2120BH PL
Fujitsu 120GB SATA CA06672-B29600SN MHV2120BH PL
Fujitsu 120GB SATA CA06672-B35600TW MHV2120BH PL
Fujitsu 120GB SATA CA06672-B276000T MHV2120BH PL

Is there any expectation they they could work? Or do I need to keep watching until I find an exact match in the future?

Also for the heads, will firmware version matter?

Hi everybody.

I do have exactly the same situation, so its very important for me to know if they are compatible.

Please write if anybody knows anything about it.
