WD2000 harddrive power pins 1

[Jack4242442]

Ive had a WesternDigital WD2000 200GB harddrive for about a year now that hasnt been usable and I just got the urge to get it fixed. (I'm not talking about the Maxtor one that I just bought that I mentioned in a different thread of mine, this is a different HD)

I'll just attach a link to a photo of the drive instead of trying to explain it in detail. I don't believe it has a warranty and I am SURE this has happened to other people and I am determined to find a solution to this as this is a good sized harddrive! I don't care if I have to get a smaller WD drive and swap parts, etc I just want it working.

Mine was Seagate. Sounded like bacon in a hot frying pan and ended up with a dead short on the 5v line. Brand spanking new drive and a total loss. Some times we have to pay for carelessness.
