However ontrack is local. http://www.ontrack.com/ At the last company I was at I had to send a managers drive in. His laptop hit the floor from about 4' while running. And nope, he hadn't backed up his data for about 3 months. <Insert usual admin rant about lazy users here> $1500 later we had about 1/2 his data. The cost was high because it took over a week as they attempted some very intensive recovery. Your platters aren't damaged so I doubt it would cost anywhere near that. Or you could look for a used one on E-bay etc... with the same model number and (carefully) replace the circuit board. Another option is to try replacing the soldered in fuses. (good luck finding them, but they're there) There is a _remote_ possibility the logic components are still okay. Unless of course you let the smoke out of them. :-) Next time I suggest not forcing the keyed molex connector. Violence and technology do not make good bedfellows. -- Christopher A.
