Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

Hello guys, good day. I have here a complex case. Already had lots of Charger successful recovery here, but never got a broken original PCB.
How would you guys deal with a case like this, considering the original PCB encryption on those models?
Thank you for any answer

I would simply glue it with epoxy

pepe, Well... that is really an odd solution. Already got it done?

pepe, sorry for asking you that, but if hypothetically there was a missing fragment of the PCB, recovery would be impossible for this family?
Thank you so much for all your help.

Not really complex...unless you have heads compromised as well(due to fall?). Take a SATA Equivalent laptop HDD pcb....remove MCU of the patient and solder it on the sata pcb(ofcourse remove donor pcb mcu aswell)
Either do it the stencil way or via manual re-balling
https://youtu.be/mpFPxUoHELgit takes about 1hr 18 mins or so for manual re-balling 240balls if i got the count correct
easy pizy

He was joking ...

yeah, joking of course. I can't see any other solution than swapping the MCU.

Looks more like technician pry damage to me... just hope it wasn't inhouse.

I was just giving a benefit of doubt.
It's a mean industry where people try to monopolize over data... "None! if not me" is the concept. Life goes on.

pepe, fzabkar, Sorry guys.. lots going on here and I'm not used to this.
Thank you all so much for all your insertions. I'll be training hard with irrelevant similar drives before offering this to my customers.
Thanks a lot.

Customer sent me this way, saying that one employee that works for him had a psychotic break and did this damage
