Our brother from techgage managed to kill his motherboard and two 200GB HDD's because he tried to play with the Molex connecters while the computer was running. |

what do you mean by killed?... corrupt sectors on a hdd due to power loss can be repaired using 10-20 Zero fill formats
the motherboard is just dead!!! |

Haha, I knew this would come back and bite me.
Squall, they are just kaput. The motherboard will not bring anything on screen, nor boot. The HDD's are also completely dead.. computer will not detect them. I tried three different motherboards and even a RAID card and nothing will pick them up.
Lessoned learned! Thanks for the razzings Regen :P | |

Squall, a cap on a hard drive? I am up for suggestions, or even guides on how to revive them.
Regen, I don't like RMA'ing, because this was by my own accord. I did however have a legitimate case less than a year ago where my harddrive just died.. and never RMA'd that one. I think I will e-mail them and see what happens. | |

There is no shame in RMA  especially when it's the user fault. | |
