HD crash-NAC

[Gerard]

You could try to find an identical drive and swap the circuit boards. 
Quite often it is a fault on the board rather than a motor failure. 
Perhaps a bust component from static, etc. It has worked before, and 
sometimes not, but winds up being less than $700.

YMMV ... but if it varies too much then just throw the drive a little 
further. :)
