Hi,

May I know does your HDD spin when power on? We have this working PCB.

Thanks
Eric

Thanks for the answers.

I have no technical knowledge to know if the problem is the pcb or not, that's why i was asking for help.

i will try the hdd and see if it spins up.

[cachirro]

The drive seems to spin up, i can feel something.

so, what to you guys suggest?

[pcimage]

If it spins and beeps, then a pretty good chance the heads are bad.

[harddrivespecialist]

If you feel a little vibration and it beeps, it could be a siezed motor also.

[pcimage]

Yes it could, but I would have said that a seized motor would emit a quiet "buzz buzz" rather than a beep.

[cachirro]

and do i have any solution to recover the data? (that i can fix on my own, like replacing the pcb)

[pcimage]

Sorry, but in a word, no.

I think platters has been damage already.
