WD My Book 3T failure

Open Miguel051971 opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

Hello everyone, i had a a failure in my WD My Book 3T drive, now the light is blinking and cannot be detected by my MacBook pro, i tried other computers and same problem, no smart status detected, no detection on disk utility, i can hear it spinning, i tried swapping without success a PCB from a identical WD my Book 3T, the number from the PCB controller is "4061-705094-001 REV AG" the one i tried to swap is almost identical except for the termination 'Rev. AH", does this make a diference?, i have heard others had succeded by doing this due the encryption, but don't know if this Rev AG and AH affects. what can i do?, have tons of important info and an urge to use some files in it.

Hello Thomas, if for some reason i cant figure out or find anybody who knows Linux (i live on a remote area, very small town) could you help me create a back up from my drive?, of course i could pay you for that, a i don,t trust data rescue companies, lots of work in my drive and all my children files are there, i am not a wealthy fellow, but can figure out a reasonable fee, i am based in southern Baja for the moment, we can do it via DHL .

Thank you

Miguel Ángel.

Please go to https://github.com/andlabs/reallymine and ask if they have a Mac version. It can make backups from WD drives, but it requires you to have enough free space (or a blank drive) to make a decrypted image of your disk.
