I mounted it all the while in desktop and it works fine. Recently (2~3 months ago) i took it out and connect to SATA-to-USB as external drive. Working fine until yesterday it did not power up. Normally i can hear HDD &quot;power up&quot; sound when i on the SATA-to-USB adaptor... yesterday it has &quot;beep, beep&quot; sound only... then eventually no sound at all.<br /><br />My hard disk does not (i think) have bad sector. I suspect the controller IC burnt <!--emo&:blink:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br /><br />I dont care about the movies n mp3... but my documents and photos through these years... really need them back <!--emo&:cry:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/cry.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='cry.gif' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:cry:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/cry.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='cry.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br />those movies n mp3 in &#39;E&#39; partition whereas documents and photos in &#39;D&#39; partition<br /><br />Any sefu/guru here can help? please <br /><br />Item(s): Western Digital WD Caviar 120GB SATA 3.5&quot; Desktop Hard Disk<br /><br />Age of item: Bought on 2004<br /><br />---<br /><br />Item(s) conditions: Cant be powered up<br /><br />Thank U so much<br /> <!--emo&:respect:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/notworthy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='notworthy.gif' /><!--endemo--> uC_programmer Technical Support Thu, 14 Dec 2006 10:26:59 +0800
