Update: Fried HDD?

Geniuses of the TB - I was using my Vantec IDE/SATA to USB 2.0 adapter to transfer some files from an associates old HDD and the drive was working just fine before I got ahold of it
Anyway, it did not click or anything so I tried another one of my old personal drives and once the power was put to it, it started smoking so I immediately removed it.
Edit: Update - Just received both of the PCB's and swapped them out..
V-I-C-T-O-R-Y! It worked and all files are intact thankfully. If anyone needs a PCB board, I highly recommend donordrives.com.
After doing some research, it appears that there was an overvoltage of some sort (which means the Vantac POS is junk).
I read you can swap out the PCB of the drive and it may work again. Can anyone confirm/negate this? FWIW, it's two Fujitsu laptop drives (one is 100GB and the other is 250GB I believe).
Any help would be appreciated to TIA

That is usually a bad sign.
