Your best bet would be to go on e-bay and try to find the same drive for sale. The tricky part is swapping out the board from one to the other. You'll have to experience with de-soldering and soldering. You'll first remove the logic board and or connectors from where its connected on the "new" drive you purchased from ebay, and remove the logic board and or connectors from your old drive.do you all know where i can get sparepart for my - eliteandres_0.jpeg As you can see from the picture most of the hard drive logic boards are secured with torx bit screws so you'll need a torx screwdriver also. All hard drives are slightly different so take your time and inspect how the drive comes apart before you disassemble it.
If all else fails you can take your drive to a computer repair shop for data recovery, but be warmed... this process is usually very costly and there is a very good chance that your drive will be destroyed in the recovery process, hopefully it wont come to that though.

Testimonial: "thanks but it will cost me double rather than buy a new hard disk isn't."

Interface seagate barracuda 7200.7 200GB drive sata to usb 2 forum

Hello. You are correct that there are no jumpers, however, when you connected the SATA cable to the Internal hard drive, did you notice there were two similar connectors. One was for the SATA the other, longer one is for the POWER for the drive. If your SATA to USB has both connectors make sure they are both installed properly. Be careful you don't break those little plastic tabs because they are not warrantied. If the drive does have power and spins up then it may not be initialized (formatted) and will need to be initialized using START, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management. or just click on start and type diskmgmt.msc in the RUN box.
Hope this helps..

I have the same problem like yours right now. The on-board circuit of my Seagate Barracuda burned and I'm planning to buy new Seagate Barracuda with the same specifications, same model.. I will try to disassemble the circuit of the new one and connect it to the old hard drive to take a chance if it will work and retrieve my files. If it doesnt work, at least I try and I still have a new hard dist to store my new files.. If you want to do the same, you must be careful in handling the circuit board. It is very sensitive and can be damaged with just touching the components.. I recommend you to discharge static electricity of your hands by touching anything that is made of steel.. The steel will discharge static electricity, but still, to make sure you wont damage the circuit, just touch the circuit board on its sides.. Never touch any components, it will damage your circuit board.

Trying to make my seagate barracuda 7200.9 slave

1) Open your computer case
2) On the back of the drive where the connectors are, you have jumpers. These small plastic tabs change the function of your hard drive. All hard drives have a special setup procedure. The information about jumper settings is on the top of the hard drive.
3) Remove plastic tabs and put them according to "Slave" instructions.
4) Connect drive to middle connector of the cord.
5) Connect power supply cord.
6) Secure the drive in place and close computer case.

Also make sure that the main drive is not set as slave.

Seagate Barracuda external hardrive - damage to usb connector on

Assuming the drive itself is still ok (it sounds like it would be), then yes, you can put the drive into another case or directly into the motherboard if you know how to do that.

How can i fix my seagate HDD,it wont detect in bios boot up..

Make sure it is connected to power and SATA, try a different SATA connector on your motherboard, there are probably 4 different connectors. Also make sure that the SATA controller is set to "NON RAID" mode in bios.
You need to go into BIOS to change these settings, If you don't know how to do it Give me your motherboard details (model no makers name)and I'll write you out a walkthrough to set the bios up properly for your drive

If you have one HDD set it to master with your jumper settings. Try again. If No go than change the cable connector. If SATA HDD than change the connector on the MOBO try another connector. Restart. If still no go than write back

Barracuda st380011a controller pcb

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.
