[goad]

hi everybody,
i have a lacie Porsche p9230 3tb external hard drive, the drive is only six month old all my media is stored in this drive.
one day the drive just stopped responding and after working about 30 min it was just disappeared from windows and device manager.
for the windows to recognize the drive i need to restart my pc
there is no "crank" sound from the drive it sound in good order
i disconnect the drive from the enclosure where i found Seagate ST3000DM001.
when i connected the drive via sata the BIOS would stuck for 7 minutes until move foreword to windows, and did not recognize the drive

I MUST RESTORE THE DATA FROM THE HARD DRIVE PLEASE HELP ME

THINGS IVE TRIED:

test drive recovery

hdd regenerator

replace enclosure

connect directly as sata (2 different computers ahci ide raid)

ubunto

partition recovery

i have search the web for weeks and come up with no solutions

all i want is to restore my data any suggestions?

THANK YOU

Hey goad. Having in mind everything that you've tried led to no avail, unfortunately there's not much else you can do. Perhaps the next step should be a professional solution such as a data recovery company. This would be the most reliable option of all.
You could try again with different data recovery programs to see if you succeed to retrieve the data with any of them, but I gather that you've already tried some of them. You could take a look at the options from this thread: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1644496/lost-data-recovery.html

Hope that helps.

have you tried a different USB cable with the original enclosure? i've had some cheap cables randomly disconnect my portable hard drives even when nothing was being moved. could be a cheap cable with a broken wire inside?

Well it sounds like this might be the culprit, but I can't tell for sure. There's no guarantees that if you change the PCB, that you'll be able to get the data. But if the files are important to you, then it's probably worth the try.

i thought about doing in i have another exact hard drive if i remove it will it be problem to put it back (i mean will it have any effect on the good drive after put the pcb back)
??
thanks

If the PCB is exactly the same as the one on your drive and you don't damage anything while changing the circuit board, then there's a chance that the drive might work (this is only if the PCB is the reason for your drive not to be working). On the other hand swapping PCBs is never recommended if the data is important. The risk of loosing your files is a bit high. Unfortunately if you can't afford professional data recovery, then you don't have much choice. So to answer your question more straightforward - you should be able to swap two PCBs without damaging the drive if everything is done correctly.
