HDD failed

my personal file server crashed.

the PSU wouldnt turn back on. I swapped PSU. no HDD in BIOS. Now the PSU works after leaving it unplugged several days.

I tried the freezer trick with no luck.

I can MILDLY smell burnt, but not that bad.

My question is this. If i order the exact model HDD online and swap the circuitry will that include the motor?

what are you thoughts on this next move before i do it.


thanks in advance,
matt
 
I think it's next to impossible to swap any of the mechanical parts in a hard drive. You might try posting at storagereview.com. I'm not putting down AT, but I've read threads over there where people tried to walk unfortunate souls like youself through the process. The best of luck to ya.
 
sounds like they get power but i dont here them spinning up.. no

im not swapping any mechanical parts inside the hdd only the circuit board OUTSIDE the caddy.

ive read a lot of posts where people have done this and it actually worked.. assuming the firmware and everything is the same.

thanks,
matt
