Most likely your problem is not a PCB.

I had it in a workshop and they said the prob was:
-damage to the servo / system area information
-electrical damage to the read / write head assembly
-failure of the SMART monitoring program
Now, what's what they said wanting $2,300 to fix it. I would still give it a shot with a PCB.
So how can you tell it is not the pcb ? The heads click 4-5 times then stop, the drive does not power down or anything. The power supply is a good quality one, the whole PC is 3 yrs old. the other HDD, a Raptor, had no probs. i haerv surge protectors everywhere and mains is filtered through an UPS.
?
Thank you |

Now you have proved that your problem is not PCB.
There is no need to waste more money.
Start looking for a person on this forum, who might do the job for less money then that shop.

Why is that ?
1) because the shop said so
or
2) because of the symptoms ?
Generally, what are the symptoms when the pcb is at fault ? as a matter of interest...
Thank you |

advarp,
I permit myself to answer you.
The answer from harddrivespecialist is because of the symptoms. When a Western Digital is Clicking it's 95% and up a Head or preamp problem. When the working PCB see's that it's not able to read the first servo track for a determinate period of time it's stopping to avoid potential damage to the Hard drive. In my Data recovery Carreer I saw only one WD clicking due to a PCB problem and it was not stopping by itself continuous clicking.
Hope it Helps.

Ohhh. Ok I see. It makes sense. So the PCB tries its best and gives up. Heads are still parked when power off BTW so *something* is still working in the servo. This HDD was absolutely not moved in any way, it sat in a PC case in a cupboard. Meh.
