To be clear, this is a 12 year old 320 gb drive. The moment the data is off of this, this goes into the bin and customer gets a new drive with their data. I have learned to anticipate every youtube comment ahead of time, steve has not. He assumed it was normal that people know this drive becomes a donor in the pile after the data is retrieved... A lot of people think this is being fixed for the sake of the 320 gb storage device itself.. No

@tonyonofrio1147 4 года назад

He's measuring the diode in circuit. So other components in the circuit are conducting power from the multimeter and giving the 1.7V when the diode is not conducting. The voltage readings are not what you would get (accurate) if the diode was out of circuit. This is just a quick "go/no go" test for the diodes.

Hi Louis, I have a WD, 500GB 3.5 Hard drive with a burnt out diode. Info on hard drive;PWD 2060-701444 rev..I have no way of identifying this diode. all i have is its position number,(D5) The diode has completely gone.is there anyway of knowing what diode this coould be ??. regards.

@josephking6515 4 года назад

For those who keep saying this is a Louis clone, look at 02:51 for proof that it *is not* a clone. 04:30 WTF Steve? If they don't have an iron to take the diode off then how are they supposed to put it back on. Hammer and nail? Ask eugene? Call JayzTwoCents (that'll work out well, hot glue gun and all)? A cheap soldering iron $10, a cheap and nasty hot air, $55. An eBay combo unit about $80. That's cheaper than a new HDD. Snips, *REALLY* ?!! 🤦‍♂️ Thanks for the video. 👍

@anthonywitham2305 4 года назад

Joseph King: I had the same thought. Ok if you are going to clone the drive or back up the drive immediately, and replace it with a new drive, then not replacing the diode makes sense. Assuming they're careful and don't do what blew the diode in the first place. However I would not recommended using the drive as normal without replacing the diode. Western Digital didn't put the diode there for sh*ts and giggles, it's there to prevent damage in use. 👍

@rossmanngroup 4 года назад

This is to copy the data to a new drive. I would not recommend usinh a repaired hard drive. This is probably older than the employee who edited this video. Replace the drive!

@josephking6515 4 года назад

@@rossmanngroup My apologies Steve. It wasn't until much later that I realised that you were just removing the diode to get the drive into a state where you could recover the data. Before that I had thought it was a method to retrieve a donor part for use on the client's drive so the data could be recovered.

@Martin_Skywatcher 4 года назад

So by removing the TVS diode you can get the hard drive to work again, but you also removed the protection against over voltage. Not sure I would call that a good repair.

@docgiggles130 4 года назад

I think the idea is to get it working long enough to get the data off of it. I don’t think I’d trust a drive that had a failure of any kind. Hard drives are cheap. Any data that you are willing to pay to retrieve isn’t worth the risk leaving on a drive like this.

I got a new PCB for my WD drive that suddenly stopped spinning (0 sound when plugged in), thinking it was probably the Marvell chip (I tested the diodes and they were OK). Turns out, it wouldnt spin up even with the donor PCB... I even opened it up thinking maybe the head was stuck on the platter, but that wasn't it either. So it has to be the preamp, right? basically impossible to fix it DIY style, am I right? unluckiest way of getting unlucky I guess...

@sharedknowledge6640 4 года назад

If it’s failing and made by Western Digital you might as well throw it into the nearest dumpster unless you have one the very rare few drives they will actually honor their warranty on. And even if you prove your almost new WD drive is dead and under warranty, which they mostly deny however they possibly can, WD will send you a likely defective “refurbished” drive that likely some other customer already returned as defective and likely still is defective. So your options for long term satisfaction with Western Digital are near zero if you have a problem of any sort with any of their crappy failure prone drives with many being SMR and unsuitable for RAID or NAS use despite being falsely marketed as such. If you look up “FAIL” in the dictionary it says: See Western Digital

I feel the pain of victims who lost data, I have a 1TB Seagate pipeline HD .2 die with pictures on it that haven't been backed up since several months ago. Computer went to sleep and when I woke it up my E: drive was missing, tried a reboot then a docking station with the same results. Hard drive starts up and self boots with no communication to the PC. My theory is something on the PCB died. Ordered the same drive online with matching firmware code, hoping a quick swap of the pcb will let me recover my pictures and files. If thats fails I may try swapping the platters to the working drive using the tape method. Though seeing the the drive spins up and self boots I see no issues with needing to swap platters. Just waiting for donor drive to arrive, fingers crossed. Moral of the story? Back up important files frequently after adding new files.

Tested power and it had voltage at the motor contacts. I gave up on it as I was attempting the 240 and didn't want to lose everything from the 8. I bought a replacement PCB for the 8tb but I never tried moving chips since I couldn't get the other to work. There's no damage to the 8tb PCB but it doesn't power on and even after just trying the other PCB it still doesn't even so much as spin up.

People are running these ancient drives with important data on them. How stupid are they?

@revengenerd1 4 года назад

I have the common problem that the sata plastic has snapped, shame as one is a 12tb hard drive a year old and a 8tb hard drive a year old and now I want to sell them! Right now I just hot glued on a right angle "extension" as I don't know how to solder on a new board.

@RichseiraAndrade 4 года назад

This happen to me used the wrong power cord caused a small spark causing my drive not to power on :( can that cause my hard drive to go blank? Took it to a friend that took the drive out the casing and stated that its empty how is that possible? Is it possible that I can get my data back? Thanks

hi do you know how to fix WD black 4TB HD? i check all the TVS diode, all is work. thanks

@MegaSunspark Год назад

Soooo....you didn't replace the diode you removed???? 🤔

I have a WD that is clicking...sadly with some video footage I shot for my short.. No budget film... And vids for that?

@CyReVolt 4 года назад

Quite interesting that WD had used Marvell chips back then (maybe they still do?). Hardware vendors and their relationships... :)

i have problem with my 4TB extrnal hard drive i accidentally drop it. not too high.. sort of above the knee.. and the next thing is when i plugged it in, i only hear a "clock tick" sound like for few minutes and goes off and the exthd cannot be detected . it shows status on "unknown serial something on device manager.. i tried turning off my computer , while plugging in my extHD. it freezes.. like in a the frst logo brand screen bfore bios menu that shows F2 or del for ... f8 for.. f9 for.. 🤔🤔 but when i remove the extHD..it boots normally

i tried checking it the inside parts.. the header thing or that writes on the disc go backs on it's place

Did you replace the the TVS or just remove it?

@nandrews8412 4 года назад

He just removed it. For saftey use a trusted power supply or replace diode if power supply quality is unknown.

@docgiggles130 4 года назад

gorak9000 This was a 320GB drive that was over 10 years old. Best thing to do here would be to move the data off to a new drive and not worry about the TVS.

@GlennHamblin 4 года назад

@@docgiggles130 I didn't have that information. But yes, that would be the sensible thing to do.

@andrewkoines6389 4 года назад

@@docgiggles130 No idea what I'm talking about, but you can use the drive without the TVS? Or at least access the data?

@docgiggles130 4 года назад

@@andrewkoines6389 You can. The TVS acts like a fuse and will fail if the voltage goes too high. It's there to fail first before the rest of the drive gets destroyed. You can remove it and still use the drive, but if there is ever another overvoltage, the drive will not have any protection. Best thing to do is recover the data and scrap the drive after.

Please replace the diode. You have removed the protection.

I suspect this was data recovery focused and not to return the drive to use.

@docgiggles130 4 года назад

The drive was a 10+ year old, 320GB drive. It’s not worth doing a full repair. They can now pull the data off to a new drive and not worry if there are other age issues about to happen.

Hello. I have a not recognized unless I format type of deal on a 3tb mybook external hdd. The reason for that being that the external pcb has a burnt component due to high-voltage with the wromg plug.. anyhow I was wondering if I can get a link or something to your business so that we can discuss repairs if possible. I also have a rog strix GL 703VD-WB71 asis laptop that has a cpl burnt components on the motherboard as well that id be interested in getting repaired. I've been following u for hot minute cuz and I can dig your cleanliness and your knowledge as well as your expertise. Looking forward to hearing back. God bless 🙏

@cronostrigger6401 4 года назад

that measuring of the diodes at the beginning is not voltage. you can not measure voltage unless you have electric charge going through the circuit

@birrextio6544 4 года назад

In diode test mode it actually measuring voltage, the pull up comes from the voltmeter battery. Those diodes are made to short connect when they pop so they don't leave the cirquits unprotected.

@tonyonofrio1147 4 года назад

In *diode mode* the multimeter provides the current through the diode and measures the voltage across the diode. A silicon diode will show from 0.5V - 0.7V when conducting in the forward direction and OL in the reverse direction, when not in a circuit. In this case, the diode voltages were with the diode in circuit so the reverse voltage showed 1.7V .

both are right thanks
