This video is a simple tutorial on how to repair your hard drive if it is clicking.
In this video, the hard drive has only a circuit board problem, so it was repaired by using a replacement circuit board. Sometimes a clicking hard drive cannot be fixed by just replacing the circuit board.
To find a replacement circuit board for your hard drive, please try our store at http://www.onepcbsolution.com

1) New HDD are more complex and there are some data storage on PCB so replacing it won't work!
2) PCB error 25% of the HDD "dead" sounds, 45% physical damage, 25% product line error, 5% other...
In my opinion if you going to spend money on dead HDD go to specialist company they will restore your data, or buy new HDD and recycle old one.

my apologies! we removed the cover of the disk, discovering its much like an old vinyl record, but the circuit board is what is making the 'needle' or reading heads malfunction. Timing is out!

damaged clicking hard drive, yet you replaced only the circuit board? clicking is a metal to metal sound? educate me.

DAVE, A complete waste of my time. I did the PCB replacement with a PCB from the same exact type spare working 20GB hard drive )same Model /HDA/ PCBA /Unique/ Code /Cylinders /Heads & sectors and the clicking did not go away. Take the foam piece on the back of the PCB and stick it up your bung hole. Complete waste of my time, now I have to go back & un-do what I did with the good hard drive.

wow replacing it is your solution!?!?
why dont you just tell us to buy a new hard drive?
-
this will only work if the sn# of the new board is within a few thousand of the origanal
