    Repair Harddisk Drive

    Anyone know a good place to repair a Seagate Barracuda Harddisk?
    Power surge has caused it to stop working. It's no longer spinning, so I suspect it's just a mainboard replacement. Hopefully data on the platters should still be ok.

    Would prefer a place that can fix whilst I am there.

    Try A-Lab in 298 Computer Center, first shop on the left as you enter the first floor. If your drive is dead, then the only option would be to send it to the a repair center (needs a clean room to open) and can cost upwards of HK$ 5-10K depending on the damage.

    Thanks, will check it out. Only want to try the Mainboard replacement, if that doesn't work, there isn't 5-10K worth of valuable data to recover on there.
