Does anybody know some trick i can try maby ?
I really have the feelings for cry.


Thanks a lot.
A common method I use is to find/buy a hard drive of the same brand and model and then replace the control board on the faulty HD with the one from the working HD.

With some hard drives (fujitsu, WD) you might have to match the revision number also.

Word of Advice: Try to find out what the source of the short was first - power supply connector, surge, etc. You don't want to risk losing another drive.
