Hi all I have an hitachi travelstar hdd, it's a old 2.5 IDE laptop part that I was using for storage with an adapter.
So by mistake I plugged it in while the adapter was plugged in and connected the top row of female ends with the bottom row of males ends. There is now no life from the drive.
Can any one tell me if there is a failsafe on this drive in the form of a surface mount that I can remove in order to use the drive again.
I have seen post before where drives have been resurrected by removing and bridging some thing on the pcb even tho this can only be done once I believe as the drive will die if I do the same again.
Thanks for any one who reads and helps
