WD Replace PCB 2060-771698-002 REV P1 - WD20EARS

[darioit]

Hello,
If I'm here no good news for my HD

Unfortunately I put 12v in my HD, bacause i swap fan power adaptor molex in chain with my HD

I bought new PCB on web, my question is, may I try to replace it without swap bios? What do you suggest?

Here attached some picture

Thank you in advance

Puoi anche montare la PCB donatrice che hai acquistato sul tuo hdd, ma stai pur certo che non avrai accesso ai dati senza prima effettuare il trasferimento della ROM dalla pcb guasta alla pcb donatrice.
Il punto però è che in genere, quando le pcb WD si bruciano in quel modo (cioè quando si brucia il controller VCM 'Smooth'), si brucia anche il pre-amp delle testine, se è successo ciò allora non avrai accesso ai dati nemmeno dopo aver effettuato il trasferimento della rom.

Una volta montata la pcb donatrice, se il pre-amp è rimasto danneggiato, l'hdd potrebbe non accendersi oppure potrebbe accendersi ma le testine potrebbero ticchettare, questi sintomi in pratica ti daranno al conferma dell'eventuale guasto al pre-amp. In tal caso, l'unico modo per poter recuperare i dati sarebbe quello di affidarsi ad un professionista in recupero dati che provvederà a sostituire il gruppo testine in camera bianca.

Ciao.

The side where the IC is burned, it is not a good sign.

It may be that the preamplifier is damaged.

That's not the IC, that's the motor controller that's cooked. It's definitely worth trying to replace the PCB first before assuming anything is wrong with the preamp.

Unfortunately, you will need to transfer the U12. It's extremely unlikely that just cold swapping the PCB will work. I've only ever seen this work a few times out the dozen or so PCB replacements I do each week.

IC = Integrated Circuit.

The Motor Controller is an Integrated Circuit.

Yes, technically that's true. But, usually on this forum when people say IC they are referring to the main IC chip on the PCB not the motor controller chip.

I don't think so.

I think it's a way to write less text, "IC" is shorter than "motor controller" and I think most people on the forum, understood that "IC" was talking about.
