PCB failures (Such as WD PCB 2060-771823-*** (2061-771823-***)) 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.

Some emails from customers of WD PCB 2060-771823 failures are listed below, along with tips for replacing & repairing.

Q: PCB id 771801 vs 771823

Hi all, I have question about original usb drive wd with pcb id : 771801 and donor sata pcb id : 771823. assume original head and rom good. and donor pcb 771823 good.. so rom original + pcb donor install on original drive. what happen ? it direct can get data from this sata drive or need back to original usb drive after repair use sata board ?
