You actually cant.

OR ofc get a new diode and replace it. As for the PCB, its a whole separate thing from inner drive components. It's on the outside and can be removed easily.

Power surge, wrong power supply are the most common. TVS diode is a protective component

I tested diodes and 0 ohm resistors, they are fine. I found only one capacitor c12 in short. In what order should I continue my testing? 2061-701444-700 AD suddenly dead, wont spin.

Does anyone know why a hard drive would come up in device manager on windows and is on, but will not come up in file explorer or my computer ? Any help would be appreciated please thank you!

See if in the disk manager the drive got a drive letter. If not, provide one (it may have had a drive letter before that is now taken by another drive)

Yeah - that will always do the trick! Although usually drives come pre-formatted (sometimes FAT32, sometimes NTFS)

Do you reverse engineer the boards or can you find the actual schematics?
@hddrecoveryservices
Жыл бұрын
No, there are no schematics but boards are easy to match, and adaptation of Firmware is easy enough with proper tools. I will make a video on that too

:) not to use the drive for years to come, but good enough for data dumping. I don't think it will matter at all with TVS out. After all those fuses burn out because TVS is in short . My job is to get data out not to make the drive like new, there are many ways on how that can be done in this case.

Hey bro, I have an old 2TB drive (3.5 inch) the original board fried. I removed the board to try putting a new one on, is there any possible way to retrieve the files on it? I’m ok with paying what you think is acceptable since that drive is where my important stuff is

If you can get a board that is exactly the same, then it should work in theory, i mean they can't manufacture a new board for every single drive so it has to be that they produce maybe 10000 (this is a guess, but it has to be a hugh number) minimum of every drive revision to make board production cost effective
