| reply to RobinK Re: Attempt to repair burnt drive myself?
I fried my controller card (circuit board) as well on my Seagate.
I called Seagate and they told me to try to find the exact same P/N and the exact same FIRMWARE revision.
I was directed to a company in the UK »www.ultratec.co.uk , ordered the part and when it arrived, I hooked up the drive to an external HD enclosure and it worked.
I had previously ordered the same HD from a different company and exchanged the circuit board with the damaged one but because it was a different firmware revision the HD wouldn't work. -- If only you knew she loved you, you could face the uncertainty of whether you love her. |
