Hi. Joined the Forum to submit this problem. I
did do a search, but didn't turn up anything. I did try, tho'. I've got a WD800BB - 53CAA1 that has gone bad. Neither one of my two systems will see the drive. I can hear it spin up, but bios doesn't recognize it as either a Master or Slave. Does not appear in the boot screen. The drive has some rather critical data (what drives don't!) that I'd like to recover. I've read about swapping out the Logic Boards and would like to give that a try. Not sure how to figure the Firmware version, tho. I have pics of the drive label and logic board.
Any one know where I can get a logic board for one of these beasts? Many thanks.
