So my WD80EFZX has just died. It doesn't spin, but I hear a faint tick every few seconds when I power the computer on.
Can I test to see if it's the PCB? I saw a video of one guy testing the resistance on some resistors near the power connector. Should I try that first? What about a PCB swap? Can I possibly swap PCB's with another drive of the same make and model?
I really don't want to have this drive be a wash.
I do have some spare WDRED10TB's on me, the PCB is different so I haven't tested those on this drive, anyone know if that will work?
Thanks in advance guys!
Well,
Same PCB No Will Work ,Not Any Random PCB .You Will Also Need To Swap The ROM Or Read And Program Donor Board .I Would Suggest You Give It To A DR Professional ,
