Mike,
Take a look on ebay. You will need the following data off a Maxtor drive to ensure circuit boards are interchangeable. PCBA HDA Unique The drive capacity is irrelevant though a size near to 3.2 gig will ensure that it was manufactured around the same era. Check on your drive for these numbers and ask sellers what their numbers are. It is in fact only the PCBA number that should be identical This info was given to me by Maxtor following a recent similar experience (damaged circuit board) swash "Mike" wrote in message . .. I have a 3.2 gig Maxtor model #83209D5 with a CHS of 6218/16/63 that is bad. It will not spin up and is not detected by the computer BIOS. It has valuable data on it Does anyone have this drive they would want to sell? even one that has crashed. im hoping by swapping out the circuit board I can boot up this drive and recover the data off it.

just bit more info, DONT PANIC.
I did and paid a specialist company £250 to locate an identical drive, which they did inside 1 week. The circuit board swapped out and hey presto I was back in business.......thanks god. Unfortunately, I then went to ebay and could have bought one for about £70 tops. swash "Mike" wrote in message . .. I have a 3.2 gig Maxtor model #83209D5 with a CHS of 6218/16/63 that is bad.
