Hi all,

i'm trying to retrieve data from this drive:
WD10EAVS 00M4B0
DCM: DARCHT2MBB
Date: 27JUN 2010
Thailand

PWB: 2060-701640-007 REV A
PCB Stick 2016-701640-407-ABD9

Turning the drive on, it returns strange sounds.
It doesn't click like any broken head.
Here you can listen the sound:

Connecting the PCB to PC3k it looks like a DragFly2:

Here the log:

RAM:
HDD Info reading........................ : Ok
Heads number............................ : 4

ROM:
ROM reading............................. : Ok
ROM Data size........................... : 192 Kb
ROM version............................. : 77.BJD
ROM generation.......................... : 77.BJD
Link table version...................... : 04.0G.
Consolidated ROM version................ : 007700BJ

ROM Modules:
Flash ROM dir reading................... : Ok (Active)
Flash ROM dir reading (Ext)............. : Ok
Modules directory address............... : 77 610

Heads number............................ : 4
Heads number in use..................... : 4

Excluding the Heads, it doesn't initialize.
So i opened the drive and checked the heads under microscope in high risolution.
Every Head appears intact.

May PCB not be original?
How can i check if the PCB is effectively original?

Thanks
