Buffalo MiniStation 3.0 Data recovery caselog

15Jan25: This hard drive was accidently dropped and just showed a flashing blue led light. Originally there was no acitivity but a faint noise. The inside was checked and ok including heads and spindle. We checked with a new pcb but without programming the rom. It would not spin up due to firmware mismatch. We got the original pcb to work again. All music files were successfully recovered.
