This board cost me about $40 and I was able to retreive all my data. Here is the company address;
http://stores.ebay.com/PCB-Solution-Hard-Drive-Board-Store
Just follow their very prcise and detailed instructions. They even sent me the torx driver for the special screws!
BTW, torx is just a type of driver, it has nothing to do with torque. There is a lot of misinformation about torque being posted in response to this video. These may be well meaning people but they are mislead. Actual torquing is not necessary when changing only the PC board. If you don't mess with the HD cover screws you'll be fine.

  • the reason why it is making that squeeking noice is because when you have screwed the drive back together the screwed are not tight enough or lose enough

    they have to be at the right toque :~)

  • @bagheadbaby Incorrect assumption. You know what "assume" does. See the reply in the post above for a more likely technical probability.

  • you don't have the screws torqued properly you tird...

  • tird ?

  • @greatestunknown No hes absolutely right, when you screwed on the back you didn't have the right toque

  • sounds like you have mice for plates

  • Where did you purchase the USB2.0 to IDE/SATA ?

    I need to order couple of these with LEDs on it too

    hope I'll get to salvage some trapped files in old HDD :)

    Thanks for your usfull vids!

  • Wrong. the sound you get from your HDD is becouse you have no torch controll. you need the r ight pressureand it should work fine!

  • how many hard drives do you need

  • @HelmetVanga I assume you mean they never made hard drives for the IBM PC, because IBM most certainly did make hard drives.

  • @greatestunknown derp derp derp derp.. la herp derp?

  • @IamFalah Torquing is not necessary for the screws holding the PC board in place. Precision is only essential for the screws securing the hard drives enclosure. In this case, only the PCB was changed. The torque on the hard drive itself is factory set and unchanged. I learned a long time ago in Engineering, an observed symptom does not always mean there can only be one cause. :) .
