My 500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.1 Firmware 3.AFE drive has died and I was wondering if anyone was interested in trying to switch circuit boards as I've heard it could possibly fix the problem. If there are any brave souls out there e-mail me at jroe5454@gmail.com. I'm willing to pay someone to help me with this. The drive doesn't necessarily have to be an internal barracuda, I believe that external 500GB seagates contain the same drive. So if anyone has a dead hard drive with similar firmware or one that is just similar to what I have said here please help me out, this hard drive is my life. Thanks a lot.
