    It is possible yes, only problem is you'll have to find an exact model of said hard drive via e-bay or whatever. I have done this many times...

    Thanks, now I discouvered, there's a loud clicking noise... coming from the drive.. I called a few labs they estimate the heads and platters must be changed or something, possibly rewrittinf firmware as well.I tried a same model # drive circiutboard and the same thing happened... I believe the board is not damaged as we tried it on the new drive and it worked.I just don't know what to do...
