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:

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
