This video was originally produced because many of our customers were simply curious, or ill informed about what is done to physically repair a hard drive for recovery. This video is not intended to make you think swapping heads is easy. This video is not intended to make you think you can do it yourself. In 99% of this cases, if you attempt this on your own, even within a clean room environment, you will probably lose your data for good.

We get drives like that in every week, where a customer has been told the heads are bad, when they weren't.

The simple message here is, if your data is critical, make absolutely sure you X;b>...X;/b> |
