I am grieving because I burned 2 WD caviar green 1.5 drives of mine…
I checked youtube and pcb replacement guides.
But I decided to ask if Western Digital is on track for its customers helping us in such tough and desperate moments.
Can I somehow order a pcb replacement for my drives? I can privide all the info needed to ‘replicate’ the boards I need and pay for post delivery, no problemo.
Youtube studying made me wiser -,- and I found PCB solution guys, who have 1 close match pcb board and bit cheaper.
I am waiting for another HDD donor of different capacity to arrive to swap the ROM chip and see if damage had not spread further to decide my next steps with 1.5Tbs.
