PCB Issues

Failed PCB or Firmware Issues

Western Digital WD10EZEX-60ZF5A0 hard drive failure can result from many causes. Check out our video on identifying common hard drive failures. One of the most common causes of failure for Western Digital drives is a burnt circuit board, or PCB. This can be caused by a power surge or other sudden electrical impact. If your drive does not spin up, or if you smell smoke coming from the hard drive, these can be signs of a burnt circuit board, which should be repaired as soon as possible.

If this is the issue, you can try to repair your drive by replacing the PCB. Make sure to use this donor matching guide for data recovery to increase the chances of compatibility.

Other Common Problems with WD10EZEX-60ZF5A0 Drives

Clicking Drive

If your drive is clicking, power it down immediately! This could be a sign of a mechanical issue, such as a head crash.

Bad Sectors

Bad sectors generally signify surface damage, degrading magnetic head reading capabilities, or the end of life of the hard drive.

ROM/NV-RAM

EPROM or NV-RAM becomes corrupt and locks out data access. The data will need to be manually adjusted and reprogrammed to the PCB.

Translator

Corruption of system area translator modules results in loss of data access and requires a “hot swap”.
