! I have a WD Hard drive that will not do anything. When I plug it up nothing happens. The motor is not spinning.

It turns out that with the old PCB the drive would turn on. It clicks. It sounds like the head is seeking on the platter. Both PCB's make the same sound.

This is a direct contradiction to your initial comment, that "When I plug it up nothing happens. The motor is not spinning."

Did you check for blown TVS? Not sure there are present on your board though.

Blown TVS is very very rare on this PCB.

Not PCB problem.
Heads and/preamp
Not DIY

OP didn't say that drive spins up.

No. It says, is is attempting to spin and engage actuator. It doesn't say that motor is spinning up at normal speed. Not at all. Too early hourraahhh!

P.s. I will say what eveyrone else is thinking.... your attitude stinks.

The only possible answer is gathering servo frequency by reading heads. In other words you need to move heads to keep it on servo.

OK, let me explain: OP received honest advice from pcimage. Then you came to an action saying OP is contradicting itself.

If I get such reply I would go elsewere.

I just have a drive before me which appeared to me it was spinning up together with Seagate Click of Death sound, but after swapping PCB I was surprised that spinning sound is slightly different. It turned out to be faulty PCB, drive is working now.

Could be Pcb though (@ 1%), rest of the 99% goes to bad head(s).
