Hi everyone,
First excuse me if my english is not perfect (i'm french - living in the us), but i'll try to be clear.
Last week i made a HUGE mistake and used the wrong cord to plug my exterrnal HDD (I hate myself!). Of course it burned out !
The board connected to the hdd looks now like this :
So i ordered a SATA/usb adapter, believing that i could connect the hdd to my laptop this way, and get my data back.
I just made the connections, and when plugged to the electricity : the disc didn't turn and a component started to smoke. (pointed by the arrow in the next picture)
The adapter was my last resort, i'm far from being a tech, so i don't know what to do next.
I've read on the forum that it could be just a damaged component that can simply be removed. Do you think it's the case here ?
If you think i can't do anything myself, do you know how much it cost to get my data back by a pro ?
Thank you in advance, i am really counting on you !
Amélie.
