Hello, I have a WD5000AAJS external 500 GB drive that it needs a new board. It spins for short time when I hook it up to my PC but it turns off afterwads, I took it to some data recovery places and they found that I need to replace the PCB which is burned. Please help to find a PCB similar to what I have. Spec: Western Digital: 500 GB WD Caviar SE Model WD5000AAJS-32vfa0 Date: 10 Jan 2008 PCB Model Number: 2061-701477-100 04P Thanks YOUSIF yousif_remon@yahoo.com |

Hello, PCB swap on this model not helps, because have configuration chip or embeded ROM in MCU. If you need the data, i suggest to find a pro close to you.... Some info, about why not try to replace the pcb: results-the-yourself-solutions-t11912.html Janos |

Agree, you definitely need a pro for this particular case. If it was a previous model with an external ROM chip then yes you may well have been able to do it yourself with our help. In any case it doesn't actually sound like a PCB problem if it spinning up then down, more like heads. You can trust mikippp, he knows what he's doing. |

Hello and sorry for conjuring this post from the dead. I have the same situation, and I read the thread and did not understand something. I have a WD5000AAJS-22TKA0 HDD with a small burnt chip on the pcb, It shows the same symptoms, it spins up and then stops. Why wouldn't a suitable PCB replacement do the trick with this model? would trying to solder a similar new one from another HDD work? And what method do professional labs would take to get the data out? Thank you, Wolf99 |

you can use the popular 701444 PCB instead of 701477 if you have tools can reprogram the MCU like pc3k or wd doctor or some thing like that |

There is a cheap tool (WDR-UDMA or WD HD Pro, US$80 - $150) that should enable you to reprogram a replacement PCB. However, it may be that your drive has an internal fault. Could you upload a photo of the PCB, particularly in the area of the burnt chip? |
