WD5000AADS-00M2B0 / 771640-M03 AE — WD SATA 3.5 PCB

This listing is for the hard drive printed circuit board (PCB / logic board) ONLY — no hard drive is included. Because we maintain a large inventory of PCBs, the exact board you receive may differ slightly from the photo. This PCB is intended for hard drive repair or data recovery work. Before purchasing, please use our hard drive diagnostics guide to confirm a replacement PCB will resolve your issue, and verify compatibility using the Donor Matching Guide. Most hard drive PCBs contain unique data stored on a ROM "memory" chip that is required for correct drive operation; that ROM or its contents must be transferred to the replacement board. If the ROM chip can be moved, a local computer technician can typically perform the transplant. For customers who spend $60 or more, we provide a complimentary adaptation service that includes either transplanting the ROM chip onto the new PCB or reprogramming the new board with the correct ROM data. If you plan to perform the swap yourself, review our PCB Replacement Guide first. If a simple PCB swap does not fix the problem, we also offer a special PCB Replacement Service to handle more complex cases — see the Adaptation Service page for full details.
