yes

relatively, yes

I figure this could be a good preliminary test before powering on the hard drive with the diode-less pcb. |
Safe for your drive, but not a computer.

| i took off the the diodes and it powered on! got all my data off onto a new HD! very happy this worked out. Now I just wonder if i should keep the old HD and replace either the diodes or the logic board or just not use it at all, just in case there might be minimal damage that causes problems later. |

Unless you can replace those chips, don't use that drive.
