WTB Dead seagate 160 gig

Post by KsJason »

Ok guys and gals I had a recent Dumba$$ attack and I need a seagate 160 gig Barracuda 7200 8mb cache drive. And I need it to be a dead drive because I need the circuit board on the bottom. Here is the model number ST3160023A. If anyone could help that would be great.

Can you not RMA the dead drive to Seagate?

If he RMA's it they will give him back a refurb without his data. I guess just the circuit board is shot on his and not his heads,plates or motor.
He probably touched it to the case or shorted it somehow , hence the Dumba$$ attack remark :rotfl:

Yes pie you are correct! I had to go and get another drive just to get the board so I could get all my data off, So now I have a brand new drive sitting here that I can't use.

Copy the data off , put the board back on the new drive , return it and do a Advanced RMA on the original dead drive. Should have it within a few days.

Ummm you dont have to mention that part...do it online at their website. I doubt you have to speak to anyone or explain anything.
I know Maxtor and WD have advanced RMA you can do online.
