PCB failures (Such as WD PCB 2060-001266-*** (2061-001266-***)<\/b>) 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.<\/p>\n

Q: [VIDEO] WD1600BB: Can I change U12 with this special head no<\/b><\/p>\n
Hi, my drive has a fried “SMOOTH” chip I have tried to change the broken PCB with several PCBs and identical numbers (you know 2060-001266-001) without changing U12 rom chip The drive is a WD1600BB-22GUA0 Is the DCM and DATE not worse to change such a PCB?

Q: Wanted PCB for WD2500BB-98GUA0<\/b><\/p>\n
Hi, I desperately need to get the data from this drive. I’m guessing that the PCB has died but nothing seems to have burned out. I tried another WD PCB and the drive spins but obviously is not readable without the correct PCB. Other info on the drive is as follows: Date: 31 Jul 2004, DCM: HSCACTJAA, on the PCB itself: 2060-001266-001 REV A, on the Barcode: 2061-701265-200 AL XC1X68 AWBY 6 0005380 6385. Thanks in advance for any help.<\/p>\n
