I wan to check if it's possible to fix my drive by replacing the PCB. It's a Seagate ST1000LM035 and it's actually an external harddrive (Seagate Expansion). When I plug it in to my Linux Laptop, using USB, it says like this in dmesg

Seems that it can detect information about the drive, but cannot read. The information about Seagate Expansion comes from the USB chip, yes? And not the PCB that sticks on the drive?
When I disassemble it and plug the internal drive into a docking station, the drive is not even detected, and it is not even spinning, or maybe it spins very slowly, I can't feel it. The drive is quite new and I wonder if buying a new PCB is worth it because my PCB number is 100835923 REV A, and it's quite rare (fortunately with separate BIOS chip). Thank you in advance!
Seagate expansion has a little light on it, and it is not even on when the disk is plugged in.
Edit: after leaving it on the docking station for a while, the whole harddisk gets warm, but I don't feel any hotspots in the PCB chip.
