Hello.
my 4TB WD RED died after 4 years in home NAS -no heavy use. I was copying data to NAS when NAS gave me error, something like HDD not detected. Reboot wont help, so i plugged it into PC, but HDD is not ever recognized by PC BIOS. The disk "sounds normal" (engine and heads are moving), just not recognized. Is there any way how to fix it? I'm not worried about the data, i have backup, but i would like to fix the disk. I'm thinking to replace PCB.
1. Any advise if PCB replacement may fix this?
2. Is there chance the disk will work without BIOS chip replacement? -I mean should i try to run the disk without replacing BIOS? Can i cause any damage by running it with incompatible bios chip? (i'm not concerned about the data)
3. That's it, just two questions
