[QUOTE="phishery, post: 1626447, member: 339387"] There were no jumpers in the back of the drive for this particular model. It did have pins to plug in the thermal sensor. I thought I was making my life easier by buying the exact same hard drive for replacement (the upgraded 2 TB model). I double checked that the cables were seated correctly. In fact, I thought the cable might be bad and the cause of the issue and that is why I plugged the old drive back in to confirm the cables were working. In terms of sound I haven't powered it on while disassembled, but I have heard a few drive noises I think. I was thinking the same thing regarding linux and created a bootable Ubuntu, but it had a hard time displaying correctly and I ran out of time to fiddle with that, but that is a good option to consider. I am wondering if I can install a SSD in this model as a last resort work around (leaving the dead drive where it is). Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
