WD PCB question

[rooksjl]

I have a Western Digital hard drive that has stopped working. I "think" it's the PCB that's fried.

The drive won't spin up, just sits there - no signs of life at all.

I'm considering swapping out the PCB to see if that helps. Question is - WHERE does one go to find PCB's for WD drives???????

Thanks for any advise!

MODEL: WD2500AAJS-6684AD

Unlike older WD models, you can't just swap out PCBs on these models because critical specific information is contained on a chip. Contents of ROM chip- or the chip itself- must be transferred to new PCB.

Actually the ROM info is stored within the main chip on these drives.
