Ive read a few posts with people wanting to swap controller boards to get thier data back. I have a few questions about doing this:

What is the sucess rate?
What are the main complications when attempting to do so?
Can you buy a controller board direct from a manufacturer?
Where can you get the star shaped bits to unscrew the board?
Is soldering needed?

I'd like to give it a go with one of my dead drives, but I thought I would ask these questions before destroying my drive and loosing money.
 
Ive just emailed the manufacturer of my hard drive, so I hope I get a positive reply. Thanks for the info, when I get a new board Ill give it a go.
