[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1578546, member: 46727"] Firmware doesn't matter. If the drive is not spinning up, there's a good chance that the PS interface is dead as you suspected. That means regardless of hooking it up to a PC or Mac, it's not going to be read. When the PCB interface on the drive dies, the only way you're going to extract data from it is by using a "Drive Saver Service". And that can be expensive. First, make sure that it is in fact dead and not spinning up even when directly connected. If that turns out to be the case, then your only option is as stated above. [/QUOTE]
