Hi all,

I have old hard drive (see the pictures)

Which suddenly recognize as 0 capacity.
I can see the name of the hard drive in the bios but all the data which shown is 0.

What can I do to fix that (besides to go to a DR proffesional)?

Is a pcb replacemant will fix that?
Any suggestions?

Many Thanks!

I don't think PCB replacement is a solution here.
