WD5000AAJS - weird sound (attached) and BIOS not finding HDD

March 26th, 2009, 3:19

Good morning,


I have a few drives, all of them do this sound (dont count the computer beep): http://www.vault.hu/wav/7.wav .
Anyone has any idea what the problem might be? I am suspecting some kind of PCB problem...


Thanks,

T.
