WD800JD-00HKA0 dead

January 5th, 2010, 18:46

I was a bit stupid and copied all of my precious files onto one drive while I was transferring data to new PC. And when I got to the important drive, it was dead. I'm guessing that it doesn't get any power because the drive doesn't spin.

I'm hoping it's the board that is dead, but as there are no LEDs or anything, it's hard to tell. The drive doesn't vibrate at all when it's powered on.

So my question is: How do I find a board for this drive?

There's a white label on it with a barcode and text that says:
2061-001252-000 AE XW 1V12 QFC5 5 0005450 445

The board has a tab at the top that says:
2060-001252-000 REV A

I don't have a Torx screwdriver so I can't see underneath yet.

Any suggestions? I'd really like to try to get my data back! :(

Did you have the drive in an external enclosure?

Was it subjected to an overvoltage?

Upload a photo of the component side of your drive's PCB.

No it wasn't in an external enclosure.

I don't know if it had overvoltage. I'm not sure why it stopped working.

I can't upload a photo just yet, because I don't have a Torx screwdriver. As soon as I get one I will upload :)

You can't simply replace the PCB on this series of HDD, but I can help with this in UK.

PM me if interested.
