| 594874 | 2007-09-25 10:07:00 | Hi there, my hard disk Samsung SP1614N is not working any more. The heads are not working. I assume that the circuit board is damaged as the disk fell down. I'm searching for someone with an old/damaged hard drive same model so I can test the circuit board from another drive. Would pay for the old/damaged disk. Any other advice welcome. Cheers |

| 594876 | 2007-09-25 21:22:00 | Yeah, your only likely to make it worse. If the data is very important to you, take it to a specilast. If you don't mind so much, or don't want to pay the mega bux... Is the HDD sort of spinning up, and making clicking noises, or is there nothing there at all when it is powered on? |

Is the HDD sort of spinning up, and making clicking noises, or is there nothing there at all when it is powered on? The disk makes only spinning noises, the head is not moving. I think there is nothing I can damage when exchanging the circuit board. 5 screws and one cable to remove and exchange. Cheers |

| 594878 | 2007-09-25 23:53:00 | I wouldn't expect the circut board to be causing that problem, however it is possible. Switching boards is worth a try, if you can find another identical hdd. | wratterus (105) | ||
