I won't waste your time with details, but here's my hard drive that doesn't work any more. It was recognized the first time I hooked it up to the SATA external adapter and last night I did it again and it started smoking. The transistor (Green Arrow) was smoking pretty good. Ok, so where would I get a new board for this hard drive? Any one have one laying around? I'll try the manufacture if I can't find one first. If I can get it back on line just to get my data off of it that's all I care about. Can I just change the transistor, but what is it so I make sure to get the right one? Any other ideas or thoughts?
