Is there power to the HDD?
I believe that the circuit board of the HDD have failed to
deliever power/data.
If you know how to do it, you can get a harddisk that is exactly
the same as the one you are using now. I think that the firmware
needs to be the same too.
After which you can just swap the circuit board and things will
work, unless of cos the disk itself is not damaged
yeap. there is power to the HDD. the HDD is able to run and spin
normally, but the big problem comes when Windows doesn't seem to be
able to detect the drive...
