WD800JB Q for Ron Speed or anyone

[gmelton67]

Ive managend to fry the pcb on my WD800JB hard drive (I hope thats all
thats fried), Ive read a post where Ron Speed says he has succesfully
swapped the pcb, how close of a match was your replacement? From what
I understand from this site,
http://www.dataclinic.co.uk/data-recovery-western-digital-caviar.htm
it can cause more problems than it solves.

Heres what I have

work.

Yeah, or at least he never said what the washup was.

I dont see that he said he did it successfully.
