If the new drive is identical to the firmware revision of the old one yes. If you do this, the drive is not fixed permanently. breaking the clean room seal will cause it to die in short order, so immediately copy all your data off after reassembly. If the data on the drive is worth spending several hundred to several thousand dollars to be professionally recovered, don't attempt this or any other DIY repair efforts. IF they fail you've probably destroyed the data beyond recovery.

Good advise about going with having a professional data recovery service do the job. I sure wouldn't want to try. :laugh:

as with anything it comes down to what your data's worth. If it's only worth $50-100 a DIY platter transfer is your only real option. If it's worth $500+ you'd be an idiot to not send it to the pros. The in between cases are rather more interesting...

The owner of myharddrivedied.com has a video of a presentation[^] where he explains swapping circuit boards. It's not something to try for the first time on a drive that you care about, though.
