Howdy all,
Well one of my 360 gig hard drives went dead. (the SATA connection chipped the side off when I was not being patient)

Have any of you ever tried replacing the platters? I went out and got me a T6 T screw, it fits in there, I loosed all the nuts, But afraid to take the shell off as it is not in a clean room. I have another DOA 360 gig shell that I made a nice windchime out of the platters. Same brand same Interface same size.. Can it be done?
