Really?
I mean, I've got the tools but not the 'clean room' (or hands for that matter) or an identical drive.
I'm a pretty technical person overall and reasonably good with hardware - I've taken these drives apart (well - larger ones).
How can you do it? Other than the obvious of taking it apart and rebuilding it...
What she has on it isn't worth spending big bucks on trying to salvage. She has a backup (In fact a few) but it's a little dated. We were actually just working out our backup strategies. Last week I had handed her a USB hard drive to backup to. She just hadn't done it yet.
There are some pictures from her iphone on there of the kids but most of the good ones have been uploaded to facebook.
She seems very not worried about this - My biggest concern was her email archive. I think that is the only thing we don't really have a back up.
