In my old computer I have an hdd SATA 3.5 80GB, I have not used it for long time, recently I bought a cable from pibox india to connect my WD hdd to my laptop to transfer the data, I felt a burning smell after cable is connected, I contacted them about this they said the control board of hdd might have been damaged, now I want to baida control can someone help me how can I buy the control board of this Western Digital hard disc online can I get it repaired
You likely can swap the control board but it likely isn’t something WD sells or would recommend, you would need to acquire it from a third-party.
That said, you might want to consider contacting the WD Technical Support team to see what they suggest:
