Hi, my Samsung D3 3TB Station stopped working, I tried another power supply, another USB cable but not even the light turns up, so I disassembled the drive and bought a docking station, when I put the HDD on the docking station it automatically starts spinning so I guess the proble is not the HD but I get a message on my mac that the drive is unreadable by the computer and have the options to erase or eject, so I found a board on ebayfrom another D3 station because it must have some initialization software embeded, I really don't know but this one also has the same problem, the HD won't start. The HD is working, I just need to read it without erasing it, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
 
You should check with Samsung support to see if the drive can work outside the case, some of the cases have special circuitry for encryption, to run larger size drives, etc... From what you did already you may need to bring the drive to a data recovery shop to get data out if you don't have backups.
