Hi Guys,

btw fantastic idea this forum!

i have a hard drive, a WD3000 (p/n: WD3000BB-00KEAO).

and when i've got her for about 4ys,
she broke down 3ys ago, i kept her safe because i knew that one day i could recover the data. i hope this day has come.

she's spinning smooth, without strange noizes, if i connect her true a ATA-USB, windows (XP) doesn't even see her, so i suggest the controller (logic board) is broke.

i searched on google and i can find some drives but most of the webshops won't ship to belgium (europe).

i see here that logic-board shops or just somebody who wants to sell me that specific logic board/hdd, i hope that somebody want to ship to europe, at an affordable price?

Western Digital 300 GB
all specs: Model: WD3000BB-00KEA0
DCM: DSCACAJCA
(bottom) sticker on the ATA connector:
2061-701314-000 AE XS 2K10 27 WF 6 0006180 6186
on the print: 2060-701314-002 REV A

i would hope to be able to switch the logicboard, maybe change the firmware component if the firmware is not the same.

If your drive spins up, as you say, it's most likely not a board.
You should search for data recovery company to recover your data.
This one is recommended company in Belgium: http://www.datarecuperatie.be

why do you say that?

i have a harddrive where a peace of the logicboard is melted,
i didn't need the data on the HDD so i opened it up and even with a fried logic board the drive still spins when i power it up!

a hard drive is a pure mechanical thing, only the read-bridge needs software how it should work...

i thought this forum was to help each other out,
not to give links to expensive repair-shops.
if i need a repairshop i will google,
if i need help i will use a forum!

Can we see a detailed photo of your board?

That said, the rule of thumb appears to be that, if a drive spins up, or if it tries to spin up, then the board is probably OK. Instead the problem is most likely with the HDA (head/disc assembly).

If, OTOH, the drive makes no noise at all, and does not attempt to spin up, then the board is probably faulty.

BTW, I'm not a DR guy, so I have no interest in your business. I only want to help.

I don't know if it's a browser problem, but I can't see any photo. :-(

Sorry, I can now see the photos, but I can't see the physical damage you are describing.

ISTM that your problem is most likely a HDA issue, not PCB. :-(

you mean the hard-drive where the logic board is melted?

that is another one! not this, i don't want to repair that one!

sorry for the misunderstanding.
