Seagate barracuda ST1500DM003 died. I replaced the PCB (with a bios swap courtesy of hdd-parts.com) and still the drive is not recognized. The computer will not even post with the hdd plugged in. It feels like the drive is spinning up when I hold it, I can feel a slight vibration. The cables are good. It makes the same repeated scratch & beep noise over and over for a while and eventually stops after minutes.
Any ideas how to fix this thing at home? I'd love to get my data back. If not, does anyone know of a reasonably priced way to either repair or retrieve the data?
