Can I replace USB hub in my 2 TB WD My book?

The other day my 2 TB, started acting funny and kicking in and out…  while looking @ it, I realised the USB port felt loose,  after unplugging and inspecting I noticed upon Plug in that it wasn’t connected @ all. I now have it apart and a friend said solder will never fix the issue because the way it is manufactured.  Is there a Replacement that I can BUY?

No they don’t sell replacement boards. If it’s a drive with Smartware the data is encrypted whether or not you set a password.

THNX for your response !  is there any way for me to hook this drive directly now, to get my info off of it with SATA cables or such?

Hello,

I’ll suggest you to contact a data recovery company. They will be able to recover the data for you.

They’ll be able to recover the data… but what will they charge to crack the encryption and decrypt the data?
