PCB failures (Such as WD PCB 2060-771962-*** (2061-771962-***)<\/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: Invalid geometry after pcb swap<\/b><\/p>\n
WD hdd has 771959 sata board and works perfectly. Trying to test a 771962 usb board coming from a faulty drive (all heads gone). The sata hdd with the usb pcb is detected in device manager but fails to show up in disk management. Victoria says invalid geometry and 0 size. Can somebody explain why this happens and how to fix geometry?<\/p>\n
