PCB failures (Such as Seagate PCB 100705349) affect thousands of hard drives every year and often result in permanent data loss. A hard drive may suddenly fail to power on, and a computer may not detect that it is plugged in. Some failed hard drives will also show up in computer BIOS with incorrect brand/model information. PCB failures can also cause physical issues such as read/write head failures, and many PCB failure symptoms overlap with the symptoms of other physical hard drive issues.

Q: Seagate SSHD ST1000LM014

backed up since late last year A friend of mine who specializes in electronics can swap the 8-pin FW/ROM chip (both start with 25Q80B) for me, is that going to work given these two HDD have different firmwares? PCBs have identical model number (100705349 REV D), however some modules were different brand What do you think the best course of action is now? I would like to get your opinions first before heading to a data recovery company as it can be really costly Thanks faultypng old 1TB
