SP0802N problem

December 5th, 2008, 9:13

Hi,

my SP0802N had a metal key dropped on the pcb while it was powered up, the drive is no longer seen by the bios, before i try a data recovery company, i want to try and find a PCB and swap it over. Where is the best place to get a replacement PCB?

I have attached pics of the all 3 stickers on the drive.

Thanks

Andy

With your expierience and knowledge of HDD's and data recovery - trial and error. You could try ebay for PCB's.

Or get the patients ROM info over to the donor PCB.
