Burnt HDD PCB

[brendanq]

Smoke started pouring out of my PC yesterday, I switched my PC off and got greeted with this after investigating

From what I've noticed this looks a bit more fried than your average cooked PCB, would there still be a decent change at data recovery by replacing the PCB?
Thanks.

Ouch. Really hard to say. You have to take it in so that in repair shop they can tell you if the disc inside is damaged. I wouldn't try to replace the burnt parts, just hoping that everything inside is unaffected.
