Hi shobi Welcome to TSF
I just had two WD400's quit, both on the same day. (backup data so it was not a great loss).
When a HDD fails Electronically or mechanical there is not much you can do about it. If the data is extremely important it can be sent back to WD and they can take it a part and install the platers in a new drive and recover the data. This costs BIG bucks.
The PCB they are talking about is on the bottom of the drive and is green.
