have u replaced pcb in wd800 eide?
customers drive worked for 30 days, when i arrived it was operating loudly and system was really slow. quickly degraded to that stuck sounding clicking noise (argh). BIOS detects it(as WDC600BB). but any version of wd diags can't talk to it (command error 0132) before total failure, sounded like big haul on power supply when it was trying to move heads maybe?, maybe like something in there drawing more current? please any comments about this drive and what makes clicking noise, causes this type of failure. do you guys routinely test/burn in new drives on non-servers? got any guesses about probability of fixing this with new pcb. will cost about $800 to send to data recovery but his data is not worth that much to him, mostly backed up. my sense is this is mechanical and new pcb won't help. may i have your opinion. thanks.
