most likley to work
1) replace the PCB from an identical drive (obviously only works if the PCB is faulty)
2) you may be able to get it recovered fairly cheap (200 - 700) last time i got a quote I guess the lower end is for something easy like a faulty pcb
not likey to work however worth a try
1) different PSU
2) remove the PCB clean any connections and replace it
3) heat it up with a hair dryer
4) lob it in a plastic bag wrapped in a bit of bog roll and stick it in the freezer till its really cold (but dont freeze it)
im assuming you have not put a cable the wrong way round or have a faulty power connector...
