[QUOTE="surfwax95, post: 858591, member: 12561"] It's one of those things that you'll understand better once you get the enclosure cracked open (assuming you have no experience with things of this nature). [url="http://newegg.com"]NewEgg[/url] will have the drive for a good price. There will be only two ribbon wires connecting the drive to the enclosure. One for data and one for power. The external ports (FW, USB, etc) are attached to a small circuit board in the enclosure. You won't have to mess with them at all. Keep in mind that the actual enclosure circuitry could be fried and simply replacing the hard drive may not fix your problem. [/QUOTE]
