It's a Fujitsu MPG3204AT 20 Gb IDE drive.

The recovery company in question is
http://www.dataclinic.co.uk/fujitsu-hard-disk-recovery.htm

I have seen a similar explanation as to the fault at other sites, both data
recovery and 
general sites.

Hence my post here because I can't help thinking its to protect their business

The controller board looks easy to swap, a small ribbon cable connects the
board to the mechanism
and the board is fixed by easily accessible screws so physically it is not
difficult to swap.

Thanks
