hi,
i have one wd 2.5 inch harddisk 500 GB WD5000BEVT, DCM: EBCVJHBB. i connect to power. it spins but make noise. it can not access then i take the lid off. i see the head stick to the platter surface.
i take it out to the parking ramp then put the lid back. i test it again. it Still spins but make noise.

can i use WD 500 GB WD5000BEVT, DCM:HBCVJHBB as doner to change the head?

hi,

is it possible that there is power problem to drive the motor so, finally it stop spinning?

[labtech]

There are few things that could make an HDD not spin. It really depends on what is going on. So here is a hint:
An HDD is a device made of several components that are orchestrated to work together to make a drive spin. "Together" testing can throw one off.

The motor is likely not the problem.
