what do you think?
because a broken HD cost 5% of what a new one costs
i know that it depends what exactly is wrong with it but its only $2-$20

166247 2003-08-09 02:38:00 For $2 to $5 it is worth buying to find out if it was just a software/format problem. They make cool paperweights.

Heating or cooling might fire it up for certain electronic faults too, then you'd know for sure what sort of paperweight you had.
