I was disconnecting my Seagate 500GB SATA HDD when I noticed something in the SATA cable...it looked like dust. Upon further investigation I realized it was the port you plug the cable into on the hard drive. The hard drive is now showing 6 or 7 gold "flat" pins where the port was located. I can slide the cable back on the drive onto the pins, but computer is currently down due to motherboard issues, so I can't real tell if its still functioning properly...
So, has this ever happened to anyone? And if it has, were you able to at least get the drive to work long enough to retrieve the data?
Thanks.
