Hello,

3 weeks ago, I got a bunch of hdds 2tb WD green and I opened one just now and the pcb mask with the power connector pins, sata connector, is partially broken and the pins squeezed.. More specifically, the power connector pins and part of its plastic.

I fixed the pins and I attached a power connector and the hdd works perfect, but I cannot return it!! They will say I did it, you know how it goes...

Is there any way to fix the pcb mask? a part to order and replace it? Only the front plastic mask with the connectors needs to be fixed.


here is a link with photos, to make you understand it, the second photograph with the pcb alone, the black plastic on top is problematic..

the hdd was shielded inside the hdd bag, I opened it while ago! (OEM)
