is there anything reusable from the parts aside from the magnets? can you help me figure it out where I could probably use them?
To be honest, not much. If the logic board is fine, you could keep it just in case a same model drive went bad on this side. The screws may be useful if you are dealing with small electronic devices. But for sure, the most interesting part is that strong magnet.

Do you happen to know where I can find drivers to get this hard drive to work on my win 7 pc? I need to extract some data from it, thank you in advance
Hello, your tutorial is very nice. I want to learn how to fix harddrive, and every kind of trouble they can encounter. I wish to know what are the compatibilities between parts, what logic board and heads can be swaped, etc... Do you know where i could learn more about all this stuff?
Good that the number 7 for the T6 screws is mentioned, but better would be to indicate where the 7th screw is located: under the barcode near the center.
