WD PCB 2060-771698 Failure

WD PCB 2060-771698 Failure

PCB failures (Such as WD PCB 2060-771698-*** (2061-771698-***)) 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: Damaged WD15EARS and WD20EARX due to wrong PWS connection

Sadly, I used the wrong modular power supply cables and damaged (maybe fried) the PCBs on the drives The first drive is a WD15EARS with PCB 2060-701640-002 REV A I did purchase another drive but unfortunately it is a WD15EARX with a PCB 2060-771698-004 REV A so I presume swapping the PCB will not work or could it? The PCB (701640) doesn’t appear to have sustained any visible damage (unlike the other 2TB drive where the Smooth chip has left some slight marks on the insulating foam) Upon
