Hi all,

Here's a link to Salvation Hitatchi HD Doctor,

Has anybody had success with this or other at dynamically repairing/reconfiguring a non original NVRAM chip to read data on drive or have equipment to do this.

Am at my witts end with this, sourced correct donor pcb, transplanted original unique nvram chip but drive would not spin up with it installed indicating open circuit/corruption. When donor nvram placed back into its original board both donor and patient drive fired up but needless to say no disk is recognised with non original Nvram installed to patient enclosure.

This was a mercy call for a neighbour/friend. It's losing me hair as I now appreciate I should not have offered to help but am involved for the long haul now. I initially thought symptoms was a software based partition fix from explanation. Then drive not spinning, 'no operating system found' ..enter can of worms.

Donor PCB had matching numbers (2 lines) and was manufactured in same month/ year. May 2007.

All posts with help, suggestions and advice welcome guys...
