Is it PCB problem?

February 9th, 2010, 9:31

My hard drive WD: WD2000JS-55MHB0 is clicking on the post, the bios see it as 8 GB and after 1-2 minutes the hard drive stops clicking and spinning and of course doesn't recognize in anywhere.

Every time I plug out and reconnect the satapower or restart my computer it's do the same reaction of clicking for 1-2 minutes.

I've tried the freezer method and nothing..
Is PCB replacement will solve the problem and give my data back?
If it do, where can I have a new PCB for that?

Thank you very much!

Sorry on this one here is one of your post. I am new the the DR field, anothre asking for prices on Salvation Data material

what-the-use-the-pictures-the-t14785.html

this one asking what are these pictures for.

Now you come here and tell us you put your drive in the freezer. No good DR person would ever do this one.

I do believe if you are trying to get into the DR field then you should seek another job than this one. You will not last long if you work like this and follow all that you read on Internet.

I belive you are here to repair your own drive and a few for friends who are trusting them to you. I would not want to trust my drive to someone who put it in a freezer and then in the end found out the platter on the drive was destroyed by water damage when taken out of the freezer and all my data was gone due to this problem.

Good luck and hope that you do not destroy too many drives for friends or clients by following the freezer method you saw on Internet.

Instead of making fun of me try to help me.
I am sure that when you started your way at the DR field or in other fields you did some mistakes.
As some pro said: "you can never be good in something if you don't do some mistakes"

And for my friends's hard drives, the data is not important. They gave those to me in order to practice.

By the way, the freezer method as you know it, worked for me few times...
After 5-6 houres in the freezer, I got 30 minutes to retrive my data back..
The internet is full with people who tried this method with great success!
How do you explain this?


I would love to get an helpfull answer instead of "you should seek another job than this one"..

Thanks a lot!

replacing the PCB would most likely solve the issue but this is not always the case mate. you can give it a try but there is no guarantee.. you can get PCB from here : http://www.onepcbsolution.com

Again this is all down to the fact what the HDD was doing before it died out

I.e was it clicking etc etc.
