I found the problem, as i said i work with making cards, so i brought the drive to work were we have a ESD safe enviroment.
After opening it up this is what i saw.
The Smooth L7251 chip has shorted out pretty badly.
A quick search says this is pretty common

Ill check our storage area to see if we have the chip (doubt it though) if we dont i will order it off the internet and switch it.
Does anyone know of a good site to buy this ship off?
