A client of mine had two Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200.10 drives fail, one 3 weeks ago and the other just yesterday. The on-board electronics were faulty and I was able to retrieve the data by soaping out circuit boards from one of my personal drives.
Does anyone now if I can get a replacement circuit boards for both drives. Seagate's warranty is up and Seagate doesn't sell parts!
Circuit Board info:
Seagate:100355589
TYCO 100344105
Chip info 10040225 Seagate

Thanks
J

Thanks guys for you replies - my client understands the costs involved - They are looking just to replace the boards - They are fully aware of the cost for hard drives.

Looks like its hopeless and it's too bad the warranty is up!

Ah well is was a worth a shot to ask!

Thanks everyone!
