Hello All,
My brother and I were working on his PC relating to an issue with coil whine on a 7990, long story short we changed PSU's but he mistakenly thought all modular power supplies were the same and plugged the 6-pin connector from a Themaltake 850w to my old Antec TPQ-1200 it killed a 1Tb Drive and 2 SSD's on that rail.
All 3 Drives drives completely fail to show up at all in the BIOS. There was a Seagate 4Tb drive also on that rail, but it doesn't appear to have affected it according to HD Sentinel or SMART...
My question is this, in my days at a computer repair shop, sometimes with HDD's, data could be salvaged if the controller burned out/failed or the Motor just by replacing that one component. Could something like this be done by buying the same exact Make/Model and replaced in an SSD? or are all the memory modules soldered onto one piece....I'll admit I don't know much about their workings and just know how to set them up and run secure erase on them.
If not I suppose my only bet would be a Data Recovery/Cleanroom kind of service?
I'm trying to help him out, most of his schoolwork was backed up onto the 4Tb but he's been working on a story and some art for a PC Game projects and he's estimated that to be at about 200 hours worth of work so I'd like to help out if possible.
Thanks for the help!
