One of my Raptors has a broken power connector, similar to This http://community.wd.com/t5/Desktop-Mobile-Drives/A-piece-of-hard-drive-has-been-broken-off/m-p/338373/highlight/true#M8261

only it’s an adapter board mounted to the Icepack, is there anyway to get a Replacement board??

Hello,

Replacing the circuit board on a hard drive is not a recommended method for recovering data or drive functions as this will void the warranty on the hard drive.

Take a look at the link below for more information.

How to recover data on a drive, obtain a circuit board, repair a drive, or find a list of WD data recovery partners

It’s not the circut board on the drive, it’s an adapter piece that brings the 2.5" to 3.5" form factor. (sorry if that wasn’t clarifed)

*(It’s actually part of the Icepack)
