Hi,
I dropped my Western Digital My Passport Essential 500 GB, robot design, and it isn’t any more recognized by my PC.
The lights turn on and it spins up, but it isn’t being recognized.
I want to try to swap the magnetic discs into the same functional drive, because I suspect the heads to have damaged.
However I would like to know what drive can I use as a donor drive. Must it be the exact same robot design, or could I use another My Passport Essential drive?
Thanks
