I have a WD40EFRX HDD which isn't recognized by any OS anymore.
I can hear the HDD spinning and there are no strange/unusual noises (like clicking, scratching etc).
The HDD has a "2060-771945-002 REV A" controller board.
I also bought another controller board, transferred the BIOS chip with flashrom and tried it with the HDD.
With the new controller board the HDD is not even spinning anymore.
But as i connected the original controller board again, i heard the disks spinning again.
There are entries in dmesg (linux), which you can find at the end. So SOMETHING still IS working on the HDD.
My question now is: Is there a chance to get the data from the HDD and what possibilities do I have to recover the data?
Can you send me into a specific direction where i can take a look at?
Thanks!
