Hi, were did you purchase the data board? Could you please post a link?

@dwightjarrett4980 Жыл бұрын

Thanks, this is the only video that explained why I needed a donor board because theres no way to directly connect to WD

@Alex626_ 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the explanation! Will it be continued in the next video? I'm wondering if it's possible to convert a 4Tb My Passport drive with 800041 board into SATA (no data recovery is required). What time of the replacement board did you buy for 800041?

Will the drive work by swapping the PCB if you just want to upgrade an already empty drive from mini USB to SATA or type c ?

if we can get a donor from the exact same models and same capacity/size, can it work normally ?

Did you ever make the video showing you replace the BIOS chip? Thanks SO MUCH for this video, I'm trying the impossible to fix some of my own hard drives & this video of yours gives me hope (at this point...hope is priceless, hah!)

On the 5 TB I see a connector next to the USB. Is it anything that is somehow usable? I just can't help but think it is SATA even though I know it is not. If it was it doesn't have a connector that I recognize.

Could I do this to simply convert a functioning WD My Passport to SATA? Without needing a decrypted PCB? I can swap BIOS chips around no problem, but if still doesn't let me access the existing data I wouldn't care as there is nothing of importance on there, I just want more internal drives

Do Seagate hard drives have encryption? If not, does that mean it is easier to recover data from them?

hey so I have this hard drive which receives power, the laptop detects it and it dies later on, crashing my pc for a bit.. still has power, has a strange vibration to it though, not the normal type what do you think the problem would be?

Definitely bad sectors, parts of the disk are damaged and hard to read, usually inn the service area. The hard drives trying to work, and gets stuck in a loop. Can slow your PC to a crawl. Very common.

Can I just get the new SATA board and it can work? I will NOT be recovering the data, I just would like to use it. I already have everything backed up in a different way. From what I saw it seems like this could work, you said it wouldn’t but I don’t care about the data on there I will overwrite

After 10 minutes I learned the simple solution is don't get a western digital hard drive. I was kind of hoping this would be a video showing you how to de-solder a usb attachment, and how to solder a sata connector and which wires go where. Or would the physical encryption prevent you from using the sata connector because it's a different form of hardware? I really hate Western Digital.

And if you have dropped clicking hard drive and there problems with heads and firmware you need use WD TREX or WD Explorer to upload raw firmware and collect all firmware from surface. After than possible disconnect and pair damaged heads. This hard drive will not start if one of the heads have reading problem so need upload firmware to memory first and after adjust heads parameter or pair heads for reading data. so after reading good heads need replace heads. For that need find out right heads use heads compatible table from WD. use heads need reset MR settings and use cript to calculate it if it necessary for new heads. Upload firmware to memory start it and read rest heads use head map. I can provide that software and access to WD account if it necessary.
