I literally have this same hard drive and it also failed completely. Would not even be recognized by any device. I sent it in to Drive Savers and they couldn't recover data... I've now sent it to a guy in the UK who will at least try to repair the board, so I'm hoping he's as successful as you were here. I'm almost 100% certain it's also a failed component like this. I think the drive overheated and something burned out and failed. Only downside is it's going to take months for the guy to actually look at it and that's not even a guarantee he will fix it. You are a life saver here for sure.

@JockoFlocko Жыл бұрын

Great video as always, I have a question though. So you simply don't replace the bad cap? Is it a situation of redundancy where there's multiple caps of the same value on the board doing the exact same job? Also, how do you go about finding the value of a shorted cap?

@Karlston Жыл бұрын

Am curious about that too. Great minds think alike. 🙂 Perhaps it was more about data recovery than repair. Now LA Metro can get the data off the drive, so that was enough? Then they’ll bin the drive.

@ralphj4012 Жыл бұрын

If not just intended for data recovery, but for reuse then the capacitor should be replaced and probably also the IC as those sorts of temperatures can quickly degrade them. The cap looked to be in parallel with another, this is common practice in many products and allows you to have double the capacitance without the expense or size of just one cap. Also, a form of redundancy (but not by design), one capacitor is better than none, especially on power rails. In this instance the two large capacitors are likely the same value so you would just measure the good one. Failing that you would either measure one from a donor board or take an educated guess, typically 10uF on power rails.

most caps are for smoothing out the voltages, and there are many of them in parallel. As long there is no short at any cap,you can take out caps ,they are not really needed. But I think Alex replaced it anyway. Even the value isn't that critical

I'm not so super experienced, so I have a maybe noobish question: why does it work without the capacitor? Is it in parallel to the circuit? Otherwise the circuit would be open, wouldn't it?
