here is my situation, hope anyone knows can help.

i got a 2.5' hdd, WD scorpio blue, broken down a few weeks ago.
it is a hdd for my laptop, i replaced it with new 2.5' WD hdd also.

i do not sure whether it still got warranty or not, i lost the laptop receipt.
i do not intend to send for RMA, all i want is to retrieve back all the data and infomation in that broken hdd.
after i have done googling and reading, i found out that, it may be caused by faulty hdd board.
this is because it gives "click...click" sound when i connect to a external hdd case.

BIOS cant detect the broken hdd, so i can assume that it is NOT software or broken sector problem.

and i have searched in google where to buy hdd board, and its nowhere to buy it.

so guys, experts, need advice.
if i'm wrong, correct me and guide me.
thanks!

actually, when the broken hdd was still inside my laptop ady has the click, click sound.
i did found one company in imbi plaza, recover data for more than 320GB is RM500....
quite a butthurt there...but i'm thinking for the sake of the data in it, i'm willing to pay it...
but now, i try to get the hdd board instead of sending to company for data recovery..
i make the data recovery myself....buy a hdd board is way much cheaper than paying for data recovery services...

damn...then i have no choice but to send to those data recovery company if i want to restore my data in that broken hdd...

where do you get your hdd the matching board.
i have been googling around, asking friends and colleagues.....but no one knows....they just "send for RMA..."

so your suggestion is...?send to RMA?
