Hello!
I've had a 2012 WD Green with a broken SATA data connector lying around with loads of files that I want to get off of it. In a desperate attempt to save it, I pulled the PCB off a 2011 WD Blue, which to my untrained eye looked similar. I tried it, and it didn't work, which isn't very surprising now that I know what exactly I've gotten into.
Problem is, I seem to have killed the PCB from the Blue, which I realized (way too late) contained a lot of my project files. It shows no sign of life when I plug it in. The Green on the other hand starts up fine with the original PCB, although the SATA data connector is still broken.
I know I've screwed up bigtime, and most likely lost all that data. So, my question now is, what are my options? I'm open for suggestions.
