Or I could just mail it to Recovery Force for spare parts?

Re: Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 120GB PCB Issue No Power
That reminded me of a case where an end user reached out about having his drive at a local computer shop who said that they offer data recovery. He said that the shop tried the freezer, but needed to leave it in for at least 24 hours because it hadn't yet started to work. We said to pick it up and g...

Re: How to recover data from Buffalo NAS LS-WXL236
How valuable is your data? That is, are you willing to risk losing it all by trying it yourself? If not, it is best to get the drives into the hands of a data recovery professional before you attempt anything on your own. But, as for the steps to do it yourself, I will list them off. If you don't un...

Re: SpinRite
If their objective was to recover the data, it likely would have only taken a few minutes with ddrescue. With a log, they could just pickup where they left off, either by repowering the computer or simply reconnecting the power cable on the drive...in comparrison to SpinRite without the hardware abi...

That was an era of drive where the Smooth MCU chip would frequently fry. I tend to swap the board, if I can, just to avoid the rabbit trail.
I'm got a bunch of cases to keep my busy right now, but will see if I can find a working board on our shelf to compare readings.

Re: SpinRite
Kind of ironic that it failed at 97%. To the best of my knowledge, it was not a hard failure and I assume that there is no data of any value to worry about.
