If you have a dead hard drive, then you are probably already looking into different data recovery services. You probably also got some very expensive quotes ranging from $500 to a few thousand. We are here to help you save money. Our boards may be able to repair your hard drive for $39.99. Outrageous? Well it's true.
So why do data recovery companies charge so much? Because they fix everything. A new pcb board will fix only a PCB board problem, therefore, it is not guaranteed to fix your hard drive. Even so, it may be worth trying a new pcb board out first for $39.99 instead of spending much larger sums.
Our company was created as a result.
The Hard Drive
The hard drive consists of a few basic parts: motor, platter, disk head and the controller board (PCB). If any one of these parts is damaged, then the hard drive will stop functioning. If the PCB is the only damaged part of the hard drive (due to power surge, overheating etc.), then replacing the PCB board will get your hard drive spinning again.
The PCB
How can you tell if one PCB board is identical to the other? Our technicians have worked in data recovery companies for many years and this is the fruit of our experience. We provided a few guides to teach you how to tell if you have a match for your PCB. Your disk manufacturer may have said it is not possible to match PCBs, this is, of course, completely false.
What kind of equipment is involved?
For almost all hard drives: A Torx screw driver, size T7, and nothing more.
For a few others: a Phillips screw driver, this only applies to very very old drives.
