" Argh. RMA'd an IBM Deathstar about 4 month ago, got a "new" Hitachi 
" Deskstar that supposedly is not having any issues anymore. yeah right. 
" Last night I got awaken by the click of doom. 30gb worth of not yet 
" edited video lost. Ah well back to diggin out the DV tapes.
" 
" It smells like the PCB got fried or so. Whenever I plug it in the 
" harddisk starts to search and click really fast and then seem to 
" restart. Over and over.
" 
" Anybody know if I can replace the PCB to get the data off the drive?

this has been done successfully.  if it -really- is just the pcb...
