If it is just the drive controller that is bad, a trick that I have employed a few times is buying an identical drive and swapping the drive controllers. It's an easy procedure, usually just requires a small philips screwdriver. However, you have to make sure you buy an identical drive (i.e. same product code), not just the same capacity drive from the same manufacturer.
