[QUOTE="Robojin, post: 267618, member: 2209"] Swapping the circuit board usually only works if the drive is up and spinning due to the defect map held on the board being unique to each drive, you also need to ensure you have the same board revision, crucially it's sector 0 that's key, if the actuator can't calibrate to this you are into a really time consuming recovery. Although it's in the realms of possibility to disassemble a drive down to removing/changing platters you have to be careful about contamination, dust, finger prints, smoke particles, hair (pet, Human) are all larger than the distance that the read/write head flies above the surface of the platter, there are various Youtube demos on this recovery process. However a word of warning with a spindle rotating at a least 5400rpm if it detaches from the drive housing it would make Odd job's bowler look tame (Goldfinger 007 baddie) [/QUOTE]
