Unable to remove the heads from the HDD ! WD Scorpio Blue

August 19th, 2016, 13:12

Hello gurus!

could you explain me how to remove the heads from my WD Scorpio Blue 500 GB ? There is no screw to remove on both sides. I don't know how to proceed. I bought the same HDD to replace the heads.

Thank you !

Changing the heads is the easiest part of a recovery. Its making those heads work after a transplant and recovering the data with DR tools that you don't realize is the most difficult process. I would suggest stopping what your doing if the data is worth anything. Otherwise your wasting your time, our time, and your money.
