To get the drive working, just need to remove the diode. Replacing is not necessary, unless the drive will be back in full production, which it won't be. But as you can imagine, we tested and there was other extensive damage that would take way too long in going the rabbit hole with testing. In a business, to keep it profitable, it is imperative to work smarter, not longer. Lastly, since that particular board is rare, it is good to have in stock for future cases. Lastly, in educational/solution content creating, it is healthy to show people alternative ways to solve a problem. For example, someone may not be able to solder, so this solution is a good option.
@@Datarecoveryguru1 I understand, but going through the path of re-flashing the bios is kind of a spooky think for me, I haven't done it yet. If I do not do it properly I could screw up the board. I feel more comfortable soldering new components. Good video, nonetheless. 😎👍
hello, I didn't know about revelprog-is. I have an Xgecu T48 but when trying to access the bios through the PCB circuit I get an Overcurrent protection message and I can't access the BIOS, I have to remove it from the PCB to handle.
