I'm running Disk Warrior on an external hard drive I used to back up data off of my old iBook G4, but it indicated there had been electronic damage to the disk. My boyfriend is an electronic engineer, and I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck actually rebuilding the circuitry of an external hard drive. Can we buy replacement parts? What do they actually do at those data-recovery places?

As do most of us these days, I have more time than money. I certainly don't have three grand to spend on data recovery.
