I have a WD1500AHFD drive which I think as a detective PCB. I need part 2060-701453-000 REV A. Buy will the problem showed in the video be fixed by a PCB replacement?
If your HDD can’t spin, you can swap PCB to try.
Replacement the PCB will not solve the problem below.
* The drive will power up normally (no ticking noises, errors etc) but will not be recognized by the computer
* The drive will power up normally and be recognized correctly but will report a size of 0 bytes
* The drive will power up but report SMART errors on boot
Those problem is caused by the HDD firmware corrupted.You can find a data recovery company help.
There was a video in my original mail. The drive spins, but the head only ticks. Drive is not recognized at all.
In most cases, the problem was caused by heads-stack problem.
