HDD death question

[necroblood]

Hello there to the forum
in the case...

i have an old HDD which will not power up and i got some serious photos i need from it from child birth and e.tc

after a power fault my mobo,cpu,vga and my hdd went dead and no power up
so as it seems my real concern is the HDD that will not power up/start when i install the power so i bet is the pcb ?
i removed the pcb but i cant see any visual burn or anything like this

the hdd is western digital blue caviar

pcb 2061-701537-e00 07pd3

i would appreciate if anyone can tell me what exactly is wrong with this hdd

thanks

Please upload an image of both sides of the PCB. More than likely some TVS Diodes have blown. Snipping them off should make the drive work again for you to copy data off. But we need to see the board and drive.

Hi, at first you should messure the dios...use search function, as it has been covered several times.
I marked on your pic whats 12v and 5v rail.

and R67 and R64 for continuity. These should not be open circuit.

What happened to the memory chip or is it all inbuilt into the MCU?
