Dear members, I have a WD Elements HDD of 1TB size with the model number WD10TMVW-11ZSMS1. I have dropped it on the carpet while it was in a bag. When I plugged it in to the computer, I saw that the HDD led works but the HDD motor does not spin. I cannot believe that it stopped working and I am sure that it is not a serious problem because of the conditions when it fell down.
I have took the HDD out of the plastic case and took a look at the PCB (printed circuit board) of the HDD and saw that there are some damaged parts on the circut around some screws. Now, at first step I plan to replace the PCB.
I have searched the internet and found some similar PCBs with model numbers WD10TMVW-11ZSMS2, WD10TMVW-11ZSMS3, WD10TMVW-11ZSMS4 and WD10TMVW-11ZSMS5. Would it work for my WD10TMVW-11ZSMS1 or it should be the exactly same number?
If you came a cross with a similar situation before, do you mind giving me directions for the next steps if only replacing the PCB will not work?
Thank you.
