If you get that solved, that may be all you need. It could be loose wire, solder joint, bad switch, bad connector, or any other reason that the electrical power is not reaching the hardware electronics. First, see if you can get the power problem solved. You can see from that dilemma, that determining why the power is not working may be a better approach. It makes it all very difficult in some cases, and can be very expensive to actually recover the data. Manufacturers often change chip suppliers midstream, and those chips can be programmed differently. Also, the electronics hardware of the two drives often have to have the exact same model numbers of the individual components, otherwise they might not be programmed to work the same way as to how they locate data on the media. If the new drive's electronics work the same as the original drive, then the data can be accessed, as long as the media itself is still readable. Here is the concept regardless of what media the data is stored on. Still, it might be possible if the data is that valuable. Of course that is changing with more memory chips being used for storage. I know that is way more than the average person is willing to face, but technically it could be possible.įor standard (magnetic platter) hard drives, this type of recovery has been used by the high-end recovery shops. It might be possible to separate the media (memory chips) and transfer them to another matching drive. That can be difficult for an IOMAGIC drive because everything tends to be on one circuit board. Otherwise, if the electronics does not work, or the electronics do not have electrical power, then the drive has to be disassembled, the media taken out, and then placed into an exact duplicate of the drive it came out of. A drive has to "Power up" in order for the electronics to work, which is needed by any program that needs to access the data. However, the last laser deals 200% and also leaves behind a lingering void pool which deals 80% damage with a proc coefficient of 0.5.
