In this episode, we are addressing a Seagate hard drive that ceased spinning due to a significant power surge. The client brought the drive to us after another local shop attempted data recovery. However, they were informed that the issue extended beyond the circuit board, requiring more extensive and serious intervention. Upon initial inspection, we identified a problem with the 5-volt power rail, which was promptly resolved by bypassing it. Despite this fix, the drive failed to initialize properly. Further diagnostics revealed that the EEPROM content belonged to a different hard drive.
Fortunately, we successfully retrieved all donor units involved in previous recovery attempts, locating the original ROM chip. When the field hard drive was paired with the original ROM and a functioning printed circuit board, it initially spun up but eventually produced clicking sounds. Clicking after the bar search indicated potential damage to the preamplifier attached to the head assembly. A damaged preamplifier obstructs data access.
To regain access to the data, we needed to replace the field head assembly to which the preamplifier is affixed. The condition of the preamplifier can be verified using a multimeter. By switching the multimeter to resistance mode and checking the pins leading to the preamp, it's possible to determine if the preamp is faulty. In our case, the readings from the field drive differed from those of the properly functioning drive. Data recovery became feasible once we replaced the head assembly with a compatible donor unit featuring a matching preamp.

The Wiha tools are very nice tools indeed. Would have liked to see the rest of the recovery-proces. It's so cool how you do it.
Hey dude! love to see the frequent uploads again :) awsome as always
More to come!
Thank you, Erkin. Cool trick at the end to confirm a bad pre-amp and head stack using a multimeter.
No problem!
Fascinating, also always wondered the purpose of the 3rd connector.
for seagate that port is everything :)
Very good
Thanks for the video, a lot of useful information👍
Glad it was helpful!
Great work 👌👏👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for your very good video and thanks for your tools list. Very usefull. The one thing that you can upgrade on your video is the blower noise when soldering. It can be boring on long video... Anyway, very good work. Please continue to share your know-how.
It's too much extra work to do anything with it. These videos are as time consuming as they are. Remember, my main gig is not video making. It's the recovery itself haha
Great job, just hope I can afford recovery soon for a music collection in FLAC, a 6TB drive tanked.
Amazing
Left me hanging . . . I like the spinning drive repairs.
The recovery with head swap is to come
I have a screw driver kit from Oria, it is pretty cheep one, but it does a job for me
Very nice job! Thank you for the video!
Is that really a resistor or an inductor on the 5V rail? Looks a lot like an inductor (people also call it ferrite or coil, despite it not being a coil - coil is a spiral physical format).
Yes, correct
Those components next to the connector are not resistors but "beads" (small-value inductors)
You don't have to particularly praise Wiha for having such a 4mm swappable bit set. There are a dime a dozen wherever you look, and I have an 11 year old no-name brand case here that I use a lot and still doesn't show any signs of wear.
I guess I overlooked that it's an indicator. Most of the time I see 0ohm resistors on most boards. Whatever they are, they fail same way after TVS goes
How do you know the resistors what their resistance is because I think they are not listed on the printed circuit and the diode is not listed either, is it possible to connect normal diodes and resistors? What is the power that can go through them? Thanks
Zero ohm resistor for current limiting purpose
Resp Sir! Nice Class Sir. Sir My Seagate 1TB Hardisk Just Spinning and Stoped, Very Heated 2 ICs. Some SMD Dildes are 57Values Displayed no Beep. Sir SMD Capasitors are all Removed but ICs was Very Heated, ICs Problem Sir or not Sir. Please Advise Sir. Iam Wating Ur Message Sir. -- ChinnaRao Paderu Andhrapradesh
take'n that diode out of circut ..to stop the short ..i have watched many hours of tv and radio repair same test tech but on a micro level ..wild to see the head's replaced on the last video was something...it all started in the 70's head crashes on huge platter drives ..they try to rubild those heads as well ..our grandparents were deep into tech even then ..
Usually bits are held in with a magnet. Do you worry about data getting damaged for screwdrivers that use magnets?
no
Those 1.5TB drives are dangerous, I had 3 all die within a week of each other. I don’t trust them at all.
3:10 don't you like the ifixit kits to screw things up? 😂 I love them! I get a lot of my stuff screwed up! Even things that belong to my friends I screw up using ifixit bits!
Funny that you mentioned it. It just came up in my feed this morning
@@hddrecoveryservices their tools are awesome, with lifetime warranty!
Why is it OK to eliminate a diode?
it's a protection diode, it's like removing a bodyguard from a shop, the shop will still work, clients (data) will still come in.
But if that bodyguard is drunk (defective diode) then the clients will not come to the shop, the shop (HDD) will not work.
i have a 4tb WD drive that won't spin up. thought it was the PCB so ordered a new one, but it still doesn't spin up. i don't have data on it, to recover, so at this point it's just a 'can i do it'... there is no noise when it's connected, i checked the cable with another drive and the heads aren't parked on the disk. anything i can do? it's already buggered, so not like i can make it MORE not working! thanks for any help. btw, what is with WD drives. i have seagates that last for years and years, but wd drives, either the drive or the usb connectors seem to sh*t the bed within a couple years.
needs to be sent in for inspection. www.hddrecovery.ca/contact-us
it'd be cool if they put spare transistors on the board somewhere during manufacturing. they're cheap af
yeah :) that would be cool
Notice the drives\devices are called Patients and Donors. Why not Good&Bad or Working&Faulty
It could be called whatever you like. But thats what I am used to calling them.
WHY YOU USING A WIRE SIR
Some body swaped pcb
Thats all
