If you still can't hear any noises, go on to the next step. Remove the drive and repeat the first step.Please note that warming it up - whether it has already crashed or not - can and will make it die. Place the drive in the oven for 2-5 mins, until it's warmed up. Pre-heat a domestic oven at its lowest setting for five minutes or so, then turn it off. If it works, congratulations! It's a good idea to back up your data at this point, but you're ready to go. Reconnect the drive to the computer, then power back up.
Slide in the new board, making sure it's seated firmly into the drive, then re-attach the screws. The inside of your plugged-in computer will usually work. You can ground yourself by either wearing an anti-static wrist band or by touching something grounded and metal. Do not touch the metal leads on the new board-static discharge could blow your new board before it ever has a chance to breathe new life into your drive. 
Slide out the old drive and replace it with the new one. When it arrives, remove the old board (there are five tiny screws to remove-don't lose them!). If you want to replace the PCB, search on Google for replacement parts for your drive's make and model. If you see this, you can breathe a little sigh of relief, for it means that is your likely culprit-and often, this is a problem that can be fixed with relative ease. Look for signs of damage-burns or scorch marks. If there's a power surge or a component failure on that board, your drive will stop working, but only because it doesn't know what to do next. Sometimes, it's not the drive that's dead, but the PC board that controls its operation (on the underside of the drive).
