stanstan Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I have an 80G Seagate Barracuda ATA IV Model ST38002AWant circuit board from a similar drive that failed mechanically so I may install the circuit board in my drive that failed electronically.

If it isn't, you could call up Seagate and request an advanced RMA from them. They will ship you out the replacement drive, and then you ship them the bad drive back in the same box. You could swap out logic boards from the new to old long enough to recover data, and then ship back the bad. Only problem is they will want to have a credit card to guarentee that you will ship back the defective drive. Good luck.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dman Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 If your data is valuable there are many companies that specialize in data recovery of dead drives. If it's not that valuable then I wish you luck finding a circuit donor drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
