    USB WD20SMZW 2TB HDD

    I had a case last week where I was swapping ROM to a compatible PCB number, and didn't even spin. The problem was that the PCB MCU chip was not the same. Got one with the same first 3 digits of the MCU and it worked.

    Maybe the new PCB is not fully compatible. Have you also tried to read the ROM on a programmer for instance?

    Usually when you have that kind of symptom, is a translator issue. But as you say that you have a bad head, that could also be the problem. You can always try to regen translator and see how it goes.

    If this is a pratice drive (and not a client drive), you can open it and be sure how it is inside, since it's already dead!

    Most probably, if it clicks and spins down it mus be head problems. Have you checked inside?
