Hi, my hard drive started making clicking noises and then stopped working. It is unrecognizable by the PC, and i want to recover some of the data.
As i understand it, it could be a physical problem inside the HDD or a circuit board problem, in that case, i can just replace the circuit board.
How can i know which of the two is the problem?
My HDD is an Hitachi HDS722512VLSA80. If its a circuit board problem, i'll need to get a new board, but i didn't find any separate boards for this exact model, i only found the HDD itself on ebay. I assume that getting only the board is cheaper but i can't seem to find it.
Thanks
