PCB failures (Such as WD PCB 2060-701384-*** (2061-701384-***)) 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: wd740adfd (raptor) pcb swap

Hi,I’ve a wd740adfd-00nlr1 (raptor) with dead pcb (probably motor ship), there’s a short around D3, but pcb still shorted when D3 removed. Pcb is 2060-701384-002I’ve also a donor with same model & dcm, but pcb number is 2060-701453-000 revA.And another one with pcb 2060-701384-002, but model is wd3600adfd-00nlr1.I have swaped U12 chip, tried with both PCB, not working. On these models should I also swap memory chip??Is there another way to solve this DR case??
