I am in the exact same boat, BUT I have ALREADY obtained an exact
working HDD on EBay as suggested. I understand how to swap the boards
(I had already removed the one from the failed drive to inspect if for
obvious flaws, cracked traces, bad contacts, etc) and I am wondering if
anyone can suggest any good sites which go into all possible aspects of
"do it yourself" data recovery. I am holding off going any further
pending more info. I agree the fees they charge for this are pretty
extreme.

Find out before trying it where the defect map is held.

Graham - I have no idea what that is, can you elaborate?

Thanks
