Ok, I have a major dilemma here. My seagate SATA hard drive's circuit board is toast. There is a black burn mark on it. So, I did what anyone would do when they panic, I called DATA RECOVERY and of course, it is going to be $450.00+ to recover, plus the cost of a hard drive. So, now being a person that doesn't have that kind of money lying around and very much needing the data on the drive, I unscrewed the circuit board and found that it is only burned on the top part - not underneath and it looks like it is ok on the actual hard drive part - no burn or blemishes. Is it possible to change the circuits, if I can get another one for the board and it will be ok?
