So I have a failed drive that needs data recovery on. I'm fairly confident there isn't any platter or head damage since the drive has been in a hdd dock that is not moved, the drive doesn't spin up on power on so I'm guessing that I need a PCB swap (I have a donor drive to provide) but the tricky part is that the drive is an SSHD so there is supposedly some extra steps involved due to the extra NAND so I can't do a DIY job.

I got a list of companies on google, but due to the covid 19 travel restriction (and there is no ways i'm couriering the drive anyway), need some recommendations for gauteng area.
