    PLEASE Help!!! Enermax Liberty 500w - HD Issue

    Success!!! The SECOND new HD arrived today, directly from the UK. This time the part and model number were correct, but the firmware was different. The last drive had the same model and firmware, but different part number. In any case, I swapped out the circuit board and voila!!!! I...

    Can you point me to a startup disk that would be appropriate? Worth a try.

    PLEASE Help!!! Enermax Liberty 500w - HD Issue

    About 8 years of family digital photos I like an idiot didn't back-up. Well worth a grand IMO. And a lesson learned.

    PLEASE Help!!! Enermax Liberty 500w - HD Issue

    I'll assume at this point that if I choose to spend the coin a prefessional would probably be able to recover most of this data. Correct?

    PLEASE Help!!! Enermax Liberty 500w - HD Issue

    There are no jumpers on the drive. It's all SATA. I've checked and re-checked the SATA cables from the drive to the motherboard. The slave HD and DVD drive are found just fine.

    Ok... the new drive should be delivered this morning. All I pray for is that it has the same firmware. The surgical table is ready and prepped. I'll let you know when I go in. ;)

    PLEASE Help!!! Enermax Liberty 500w - HD Issue

    The fried drive was made in May of this year, and just today I ordered an identical one. My thinking is that I can get the enclosure for 40 dollars, TRY and yank all the data off it onto my work PC and then just start fresh with the new drive. If the enclosure doesn't work I can try and...

    PLEASE Help!!! Enermax Liberty 500w - HD Issue

    I've been reading around and have another idea. Since I can't get the drive to power on with the power supply and the circuit board doesn't "look" fried, can I hook this drive up to an external usb HD enclosure and get all my data off it that way? Is that at all feasible, opposed to...

    PLEASE Help!!! Enermax Liberty 500w - HD Issue

    Well, I just ordered the same drive and all. Hopefully it's identical down to the firmware. I've got my fingers crossed hoping swapping the PCB will do the trick and not be too complicated.
