Good tip Laurence, we've used that same process several times with similar success. -Steve Bogdanski >>> On 5/18/2010 at 12:45 PM, Laurence Bates <[log in to unmask]> wrote: You might want to check into whether you have access to a working drive of the exact same type. I have recovered quite a few hard drives by swapping the circuit board from a known good drive. It tends to work over 50% of the time if you can find a good matching drive.

The down-and-dirty kind involving clean-rooms and actual dismantling of hardware? I suspect not, heck of a delicate and technical service, but I am about to recommend something to a user who forgot to do their backup, and I'm afraid he's not going to like the costs involved. Any suggestions, on-campus or good experiences elsewhere are welcome. To be clear, this involves hardware that will not spin up. I feel this has been asked before, but I searched the archive and failed to find anything... sry =( Found 'Data Recovery Service' from 11/08 and entertaining discussion on Freezing, Dropping and Hitting hard drive with mallet, but no useful names or places of businesses still in operation. - Joe
