Hi,

Where can I find an EXACTLY matching drive - I need the EXACTLY same
interface card, please read below -  to my:
Seagate Barracuda ATA IV
Model ST380021A
Serial Number: 3HV2HKD6
P/N: 9T6006-003
HDA P/N: 100165525
Configuration Code: SVO-03
Firmware: 3.19
Date Code: 03114
Site Code: AMK

Because of a short-circuit within the power supply my Seagate Barracuda ATA
IV ST380021A harddisk got damaged. That is, as soon as I attach the power
plug to the drive, I cannot switch on the pc. There must be some
short-circuit on the interface card of the drive which the power supply
detects. So I tried to take the interface of another ST380021A and mounted
it onto the damaged drive. Now as one can hear, the disk starts spinning and
the heads move around as well, but the drive is not detected by bios. This
probably be because it is not an exactly matching interface card, there even
are different components soldered onto the card. At least this makes be
believe there gladly nothing is damaged within the drive, the problem is
just the interface card.
If you have a drive (maybe with damaged sectors on it, because I don't
bother about that), or you just know where to get a spare matching interface
card, I would be glad to hear from you.

Thanks in advance,
        Rainer
