READ THE MANUAL AT SEAGATE.
or look at the chips there, see those I/O chips
see the p/n on them. look them up and read the data sheets.
see the pata pins, see them , enter the PCB with copper traces
they land on the I/O chip, and is clearly labeled on all mine.
great question, I worked as and ATE test system programmer and we do this all the time. There are many tests. not just i/o.

Hi, your query, "is there a way to fix it?" if you intend to use if again normally, afraid no way; if you want to recover/retrieve important data/files, probably: 1. seal the drive in a sandwhich ziplock plastic bag, leave it in your freezer overnight, install as a secondary master in another PC, autodetect in CMOS, if detected, boot to your OS, copy whatever you can real quick, soon as it reaches ambient temp chances are it will no longer be readable again; or 2. assuming it is an electronic problem, using a torx driver remove the pcb, get hold of another hd of same brand & model, borrow the good PCB and tempo use it, again install as secondary master in another PC. if no available 2nd HD at hand, install and while in CMOS autodetect HD, feel around the PCB components and determine which heats up faster than the others, spray it with a contact cleaner, if detected continue to your OS to back it up, continue spraying to maintain lower temp; 3. assuming mechanical problem (though highly unlikely) lightly tap with a small rubber mallet (rubber coated handle of a side cutter will do) bottom of drive and install; 4. assuming an electrical connection problem, reheat the 4 power terminals at the bottom (+, gnd, gnd & +) and/or remove the pcb and check/clean contacts at the back of the PCB and its mate, 2 sets; 5. assuming you can do component level soldering and can use a VOM, check surface mounted fuses on PCB near power connector. All of the above are last resort and are not guaranteed to revive your HD. Most require that you run your unit open with possible risk to electrical shock. If you are not comfortable, it would probably be to your advantage to seek the services of a qualified service professional. Sometimes it work, sometimes not, hope it be of some help to you. Pls post again how things turn up. Good luck and kind regards.

For shansterbaby:
The first thing for the computer to find the drive is when it does the very first test on itself, at the POST. It detects all the components. You hear a bip. Then, you can see the result of the POST in the BIOS. If the HDrive is detected, you will find the st380011a in the list of the drive. Once you see the drive in the list, you're okay for the next step, to boot from Windows. Do you use Vista? or XP? For XP, I would open Windows Explorer and see under My Computer if you have another drive (D:, or E:). Click on it.
For meadomuffin, I had some problem with an Internal drive. I download for Seagate website a tool (it is called Seagate tool). I started a check disk from that tool, reformatted and it was then Okay to use it. Windows could detect it. Maybe that is not the answer for your problem. Let me know.

If the drive still powers up and spins, you should be able to recover the information using a special USB adapter to connect it to a working computer. You can buy such an adapter for $20 at newegg.com. Here is a link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812232002
