@@sportymicahglick8522 Just wanted to respond and say using a universal HDD station/hub works. Extremely easy after you follow the instructions here. Works just like it was inside the case.

@@thaguy this didn’t work for me. I was able to power the drive up but couldn’t get my info, it might have been because I had a Mac. Glad it worked for you
Thank you SO much! I believe the part on yours that went bad is what happened to mine. I ordered a new WD 4TB, but I wanted to get the data off my current one. Your trick worked like a charm!
Hi , I have same HDD 4TB my Book. Its spinning but not showing the drives. In Disk management shows Disk unknown and not initialised. It's shows 0MB in properties. I have tried this but not worked. Is there any solution for this problem? Please try to send me Reply....
@@johnnystorm5236 Appreciate it. I already swapped HDD into new case but since it was only USB version, it did not work. Already returned new Duo drive system. Going to order used /refurbished duplicate Duo and swap HDD. Thank you for response!
@@nsanerydah Did the used /refurbished duplicate Duo case work to fix your issue, and allow you to read data on the duo hard drives? I have a WD MyBook Dou with the RED light s problem and it will not read data. Thanks
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water! I have a 14TB unit that has the same type of failure. The number you are quoting to buy a replacement board, is that printed on the existing board inside the case, or somewhere else? Again sorry for restricting what you probably hoped was a long dead thread, but any assistance would be greatly appreciated
I’m not sure which number you’re referencing but there is a screwdriver that has a number and then the replacement board is on eBay if you tell me the time in the video I can tell you exactly where I got the number from
I am having same issue. I need to order the component that you have mentioned that you have ordered from eBay. Need to know the details about that. Please provide that and I hope it would be same as yours but how to make sure that I order the correct one?
Heyy i have the same problem with my 8tb wd power drive, its not powering up. I just want my data from it, should i make it an internal drive? To take my data out? Will it be safe?
Hola Jhonny gracias por tu video. tengo un disco de 4tb con ese mismo problema. donde puedo conseguir esa placa tienes algún link de la página de ese distribuidor? o algún teléfono. gracias
I have WD my book from 2016 is it the same number ASM1151W PCB Sata USB Replacement Board PC and Mac 4060-705149-000 for that board? if not where can I find the number for my my year. thanks
Have you tried plugging the drive in a 3.5" docking station and connected that to Linux/Windows to get your data off it? A GitHub person made a decrytpion tool for all WD drives but he doesn't support the ASM1151W chip (meaning that he doesn't know where that 5th brand of ASM chip allegedly stores its decrypt key on the drive). However in a random thread, i read a reply where he said the ASM chip didn't encrrypt if a password wasn'tset by the user. Subsequently a person from Thailand claimed success when connecting the drive in his desktop CPU.

I have a 1TB from maybe 2015, and will try this method using the respective parts. If it works, awesome - if not I still subscribed. You may have useful information, or some fun ish to check.

My 8TB MyBook was making no sound at all. Absolutely no activity when plugged in. Replaced the cord, still nothing. Then replaced the board, and still no activity at all. Any idea on what my next step should be?
Ive had the same issue. Removed drive from shell and removed power board. Then plugged directly into motherboard/power supply via SATA and still nothing. Any luck on your end?
Hello is there a possibility this can work with a mount or docking station? I look forward to your reply!
It’s a possibility but it’s going to be tricky but I don’t how to do it

@@johnnystorm5236 Yeah I was on PC for this so it definitely had something to do with Mac. Hopefully there's method for Mac users.
I tried the method above as well as got a new power cable, drive still didn't come on. Would the docking station help or do I have a bigger problem?
