Force 3 60 GB vanishing act

[NGD]

Howdy,

 

Suffice to say my 60gb Force3 drive died about a week ago. I've had this drive for a little under a year as my primary drive for a Win7 install. It's been perfect up until a week ago when after waking the computer up from hibernation, it froze until I had to do a hard restart. Afterwards the drive would not be seen by the BIOS.

 

Here's a list of things I've done.

• Reset CMOS and restarted
  
• tried another SATA port
  
• Tried the drive in an external USB3 drive dock on another computer
  
• Tried 2 known working cables on known working SATA ports
  

All of those ended up with the same result. The drive not being seen by either Windows or the BIOS. The motherboard seems to be fine on all ports and reads other drives just fine. It's just the SSD I'm having an issue with.

 

I'm hoping someone has a suggestions I haven't thought of yet.

 

Been awhile since I've been on here, but my system is as follows

 

Mobo: Asus P9x79-Pro

CPU: i-7 3930

RAM: 32GB Corsair vengeance

GPU: ATI RD4870 (yep..it's an oldie)

PSU: Corsair AX1200

 

Anything else I can provide please feel free to ask.

I am sorry but if it will not detect there is not a lot we can do expect replace it. Please use the link on the left and request an RMA and we can replace it.

DOH!. Next time lie to me first, lol.

 

Well that stinks. I was hoping there was something I might be able to try that I hadn't thought of yet.

Sorry, but you can try it on another system if you can get it to detect you might be able to update the firmware and recover the drive. But if not like I am sorry but all we can do is replace it.:(:
