3.5" HDD PCB power supply issue - need help

October 22nd, 2019, 5:59

I have a 3.5"WD Black 2 TB harddisk. 2 yrs old not in Warranty.
Suddenly it had stopped working. I suspected it should be HDD PCB Power Issue.

I am interested in making the HDD work rather than data recovery.

Got it diagnosed though a chip-level repairer, to which the repairer said - issue with the PCB Power .
but he dint open up the PCB.

Can anyone please suggest any good genuine repairer, who can repair the PCB (if its a PCB issue)
I am from Mumbai. anyone from MUMBAI who can help me.. or give any reference ?

I have been to few data recovery guys, but these guys are only interested in data recovery not to repair the HDD.

pls suggest.

Does the drive spin up?

Can you upload a photo of the PCB?
