That model looks familiar... Fujitsu got supplied a lot of bad chips, and they didn't discover this until their drives started failing at a rather high rate. Swapping in a good circuit board often did the trick. I had a working one of the fujitsu 20gb drives and sold it to someone who needed the circuit board for just this purpose.
