Re: hard drive test

thanks for all the replies,
this is what information I am looking for, is how to replace the controller
board. and where do I find instructions of how to replace the board. this
information is not vital, I just want to see how to fix the drive or not,
but not at the recovery prices from the drive repair places.

thanks to all for the insight.

I have a couple of hard drives that may be good, and only have a bad
controller chip. how do I test and how do I replace or send it to
somebody
who can. thanks

I have been able to buy the same model on e-bay and replace the controller
bd. Worked fine. Mine was a 30GB Maxtor.
