Hi guys can someone of you share with me your solution or best practicies? I know that the topic is very old but may be .....
My friend ask me to recover his data from old WD800BB. Someone before me open the cover and now disk is clicking several times and then stop. I bought used one HDD with the same MDL and DCM 100% working. As i assume first i shoud try replace heads.
i've read that after opening they need to be adjusted, so i have an idea to work with HDD without cover and using small gasket with screw not tighten, find the most central position for head arm.
To be honest im not sure if the damage is related to the heads (beacause the cover was opened) and first and before i open next HDD i will try to chceck if this one.
Im not a professional in HDD area but as a fine mechanic specialist i undesrtand how they work
Just need some advise from pro. All accept "you can't do it"
Regards
