Fujitsu MPG3-series (PB-16 and PB-15H) HDDs like the MPG3204AT-E produced P2000-09/2001-09 may have an electronics defect that cause the media to be inresponsive and may cause the IDE-bus to stall. This is our case to recover the data. For any legal action in US see the HDD Class Action Settlement.
In a another case with an MPG3204AH-E involved that was carrying not that important data and had a 50% failing-rate at that time we actually cooled down the media to its lowbound ambient temperature (operating) (5°C) to sector-copy it on another medium. This worked because we observed the media to increase its failure-rate by operating time and recovering after being paused, thus the defect being heat-dependent.
Could work, but does not have to.We used these PCBs (front, back).
