Can you help make a guess for this failing drive ?
I have many hard drives, more than 10, both internal and external. Currently they are all good.
I have a hard drive that is one of the earliest drives, in fact, it's the newest, servicing for less than a year. When a few weeks ago I took it out from the PC chassis, it suddenly started to work wired and did not work at last.
Someone else on the web commented that it's likely to be "short-circuit" and suggested me try to replace the circuit board or get someone to do so.
The drive was never dropped or crashed, I am pretty sure.
What do you think? What do you guess? Can I get it fixed by replacing the circuit board? or will it be a waste of money?
I will not think about data recovery . I know it's expensive, and the data inside doesn't worth that much. Only some not very memorable pictures and 1080p videos
