My best guess is that it overheated in the laptop it was in. Discoloration on the public side of the PCB. Before it became entirely inaccessible, it was agonizingly slow in accessing data (boot-up took ~45m, but eventually did boot-up to the login screen).

No indication (sound) of mechanical failure - drive appears to spin up fine. Another system can see the partition table, but not access anything beyond that that I can determine. Kernel I/O error when trying to read a partition.

Cheers,

Sticker on the PCB reads 100536284 C1 M9483QV2 - not sure which part of that you needed. The drive itself has a few 3D barcodes on it - the end of the drive opposite the SATA connector is a 2D barcode with 5VE2 M6KR.

Cheers,
Brice

Most likely you have a problem with a drive, not PCB.

What kind of problem? There's no clicking, no sounds at all other than the smooth sound of the drive spinning up. Heads do seem to move and what not when the drive initializes. The solder points of the two main chips are seriously discolored, I'm suspecting that some portion of the chips or something else on the board got fried.

Most likely SA damage, surface damage or a R/W heads.

hi,
yeah. swap PCB won't help. you should send it to data recovery company for take off data if you need. keep do it yourself may make hard drive worse.
