Last week my 2TB WD Caviar Black HDD gone bad. No and anytype of sound coming out of it. But it shows 0.0gb in my bios. Is this PCB issue. changing pcb or swapping rom resolve this or what?

What do you mean by "no noise"?

Is it spinning up?

Then you can try and new PCB with ROM swap.

If it doesn't have an external ROM at U12, then you need pro help

Its full model is WD2002FAEX-007BA0
and
its PCB model is 2060-771624-003

Seem like those have ext ROM.
Follow pcimage's suggestion.

You can also check some of the components with a multimeterif you have one and have basic electronics understanding. Use the search function. May be easier to restore. It all depends on damage extent.

I would think that if the drive identifies itself to BIOS, albeit with 0 LBAs, the this would mean that a large part of the PCB is OK.

Could it be that the MCU cannot see the preamp, and would this produce the observed symptoms? If so, perhaps the OP could examine the preamp contacts on the PCB.
