The moron who fried it. Thanks for the video link.

I have this Sabrent 5 in 1 that I have used on several laptop internal hard drives. Except for the smoke and the smell it seems to be working with this hard drive as well (at least the data written) to another HD.

The Sabrent has definitely paid for itself many times over for this computer moron.
