my external HD was down, I replaced PCB without swap IC, but no lucky.

Can anyone advise how to swap this 128pin IC? pretty hard to take it off.

PCB model: 2060-701590

thanks in advance.

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 this link 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

The only person who knows much about boards is fzabkar, check his posts or try a PM.
