Hi,my raptor died just in a second without any warning.Just blue screen and thats it.It is OONLR1,controller board is Rev A.I tried to change board from OONLR5 with same board revision but din't work.Bios doesn't find it,it warms up somewhat but no clicking sounds.Is there anything i can do?

you may want to ask pro for help
Raptors of this model may stay quite even with damaged heads
Finland is very close to Saint-Petersburg, Russia
I suggest Q-Lab there - http://q-lab.ru/en/index.shtml

You think it's heads?Should i try to change them from other one i have?Is there difference between OONLR1 and OONLR5?

there is no difference between 00NLR1 and 00NLR5
If you feel like you want to change heads - change them
But I must warn you - this drive is not easy one if you never did Raptor with internal problems before I really not recommend to open it

Because there is some electrical parts which can't be removed,that's my last hope.

Just swapping parts at random -- especially if you do not have the proper tools and experience -- is a good way to lose your data for good.

Swap platters only if you have a motor or bearing issue.

It may have been totally unnecessary to swap heads. Please give the drive to someone who can accurately diagnose & fix it -- if you truly want the data.

Good luck.

Agree with jono.

Don't play more, because there will be no data for recover anymore....
