I have a Wester Digital caviar SE16 and when I hook up the drive it seems like it spins up for about 10 seconds before going dead.

Does this sound like something that is symptomatic of the controller board? I am wondering if attempting t replace the board is a good option to try and recover the data on the drive.

This has been answered a trillion times on this forum, pcb is not the culprit. Most likely the problem is internal. changing the pcb would be a waste of time and money (99.9%).

Agree, it will be an internal problem with the heads and/or preamp.

Not DIY
