What is that smell!? You don't smell that?

You can smell that. I still can't believe there wasn't any smoke pouring out of it. I think it was glowing red lol, I was able to determine the smell was coming from he drive by heat. There is also melted foam spacer material melted to it which was the worst part of the smell. The chip melting was kind of familiar and warming though.

    If you need the data off that drive you may be able to find a replacement board (without the burned up chip) from this place:

    A friend of mine was able to get a board for his hard drive and retrieve all the data.
