Thank you very much! Explaining what you're doing (like checking with multimeter if components are shortened) was so helpful to understand the whole process. I finished tech school, but sadly I was prepared only for installing stuff that is ready to install, not to reparing the electronics and thanks to people like you I can experiment with fixing things electronics that others consider as trash
Hi Nanof, Thank you. I wish that you have them all too. You're right, playing and experimenting with electronics stuff is a fun way to go through the day.
The moonins seem to be on the rise, why is that? Also, you can get a seek thermal cam pretty cheap, a solder iron fairly cheap and a microscope cheap. Won't be as good as his but it would still do the job.
@@drummerdoingstuff5020 The thermal cam that I have is a bit pricey. There are other cheaper alternative but the thermal resolution and sensitivity isn't as good though.
Great job with excellent technical prowess. Thanks for the video recording to share such great knowledge and skills. I however, observed that you isolated a damaged capacitor, but you didn't record or show that you replaced the capacitor. My question is: do you need to replace all removed electronic components from a logic board?
Hi, thank you for the compliment. I did not have to replace the 2 caps that I removed because they were just filter caps. After recovering the important data from the ssd, i never used it for OS anymore. But I still use it for holding temporary files when I'm copying from one place to another.

very nice, what thermal camera has been used in this video ? I have the same SSD disk and it does not appear in win manager or in the BIOS so I assume there may be some similar burn outs and I would like to fix it just to get out the data from this SSD. Thanks in advance!
Galing mo po sir. ganito lang if may problema ang ssd at hnd bibili agad ng bago pra hnd masayang kung may files na naka save, Thanks sir good job po 🙌🏻
Great video, but I want to know: How do you distinguish between a surface mount capacitor and another component like a diode or resistor on the SSD board? Before throwing out my SSD I might try this to recover the data on it.
Hi, thank you. SMD capacitors are easily distinguishable because their body in between two connectors is white or yellowish and looks plasticky. It usually doesn't have a number written on the body. Resistors are mostly black in color and has a number written on the body. Most of the diode can be identified by its connectors which are smaller than its body. Sometimes, coils can look like a capacitor and the most prominent difference between a capacitor and a coil is that the coil tend to have rough connectors.
Brilliant video, question you removed 2 capacitor, video doesnt show it being replaced, so was it replaced? or did this work without having to replace them?
@@E1qsaeo this is a common way of fixing logic boards, surprising but often these capacitors are either redundant, or not vital for the board to function. I would not trust my files with it though
hello, do you need to replace those capacitor or you just leave the pads stack empty? if you replace them how can you tell the value of the capacitor if they are shorted to replace them (if you don't have another same ssd on hand or the schematic of the ssd)? thank you for your video and nicely done!
Thank you for the helpful video! I have a question though, when the shortened component is removed, does that mean that some of the data from the SSD is gone.. I have the same issue, my computer doesn’t see the SSD and I really don’t want to lose all my data.. is t possible to save most of it?
Hi, your data is held in the NAND chip so removing faulty capacitors isn't going to affect your data. But if some chips are faulty or the NAND itself, then your data may be lost.
At that time, I don't have a replacement capacitor. If they are just filter caps, it's ok to remove the faulty ones, copy the data and then never use the ssd again.
Hi Reynaxis, I had a broken SSD in my laptop (water damage) so i bought a new one. When i just got the new one and i put it in it worked. But just now when i had installed a windows copy on a USB it said with the flash codes of the on and of button that the SSD is broken again. I handled it very carefully so i dont think i broke it. Do u have any idea what i can do?
Hi, I did not replace the caps. This was only good until we copy the data from it. However, up to now since the time I repaired it, it is still working.
Once prying it open to get the pc board out and finding what’s overheating, do you think using freeze spray in the components would work to copy the files off of it one last time? I’m having trouble understanding how it still works by taking caps out breaking the circuit unless they’re going to ground only.
Freeze spray will work the same like the thermal cam. The heated component will just evaporate the freeze spray thereby revealing which component is shorted. I'm not sure if it can help with letting you copy the data for one last time.
@@HDHD-yv9np Hi. If you have a replacement capacitor, I suggest that you replace it. But no, it did not break the circuit and the ssd drive works well.

Hello and thank you for your informative videos. I have a new SanDisk SSD 240 that I had encrypted using BitLocker, and when I tried to decrypt it, it took a long time and I had to restart the computer. Now it is not possible to delete the partition or format using different software, and Diskpart , etc., and it gives an I/O error when formatting or deleting partition. It is necessary to explain that the ability to read and identify the drive is active and does not have bad sectors. Is it possible to format and reuse it? Maybe or should I throw away the hard drive?Tnx
Hi, I have never tried interrupting the process of decrypting BitLocker's encryption. You may try and decrypt it again. But usually, if the decryption fails, we can still format it. We've tested that hypothesis before by encrypting a flash drive and formatting it. It cleared the data and we can reuse the flash drive. But in your case, I'm not sure what went wrong with it. I guess you'll have to discard the SSD.
@@ReynaxisSolutions Thank you for the answer, but I have to say that I am not able to unlock the drive with the password or recovery word and I only recovered my data using software.

Hi, try plugging in your hard drive on an external harddisk enclosure and hope that it can still read it. If not, you may have to send it to a tech who can recover or fixed your hard disk.
Hi, yes, correct. Shorted caps will appear hot in thermal cameras. Here's the link for Seek Thermal CompactPro. www.amazon.com/Seek-LQ-AAA-Compactpro-iOS/dp/B07GX8XTG5/ref=sr_1_1?crid=SNVUK3CKOYLA&keywords=seek%2Bthermal%2Bcompact%2Bpro&qid=1650581821&sprefix=seek%2Bthermal%2Caps%2C514&sr=8-1&th=1
Hi, if it is a faulty resistor or faulty diode, you must replace. In my case, there's so many caps in the logic board that removing some doesn't have to be replaced. If you have a replacement capacitor, then replacing it is a must.
It's called a Muti-Function HDD Docking. It's basically a dock that can read 2 SATA hard drives/SSD port and 1 IDE port for older types of hard disk. It's also capable of doing an offline cloning, meaning, it doesn't need to connect to a PC to clone a hard drive. ua-cam.com/video/mEqqM0SeUew/v-deo.html
I have the very same drive. I installed an NVME and about two hours later my SSD died. Shows in Device Manager using an extremal USB3 caddy, but not in Disk Management. And the PC won't boot with it plugged into SATA or USB.
I want to replace a capacitor that is shorted on my SSD drive but I don't know which replacement I have to buy I see so many different kinds (NF,UF, PF + numbers). The only visual reference that I have (on my case) is a capacitor L4 but I can't find it as so.
I think any SMD filter capacitor would do. Usually, if it's a filter capacitor, it's ok to not to replace it as long as the data is recovered from the ssd. Then once data is recovered, I would not use the ssd again.
@@ReynaxisSolutions I only want the data back. At the moment I can load the disk with a external disk reader, but it is two slow to load the files and at a moment it just stops responding. I'm new to this, so I don't know if the setting I used on mt multimeter are correct, I got a reading of 002 on the L4 cap and a short, also I get a red light when the disc is connected , I don't know if that means anything. In any case once I manage to find the L4 I'll use your instruction to replace it. Thank you.
You can try and remove the shorted caps and see if that solves your problem. But if not, you'll have to solder the caps back to the board. But be careful though as the heat from the soldering gun or from the hot air could damage the other component.
Bro my wd ssd is not formatting and whenever i try to format it the data is back to its original form, have tried cmd, software eveything which was possible now my questions what is the issue and can it be fixed?
You really are a professional a very well epxlained and detailed video that actually shows how to fix the thing but the music was quite annoying and loud
@@ReynaxisSolutions np sir thank to you too , btw i have an adata su650 which seems to have the same problem but unlike the capacitor in the video the source of excessive temperature seems to be coming from a chip with the realtek logo on it will it work if i had to remove that chip or does it need a replacement
My ssd doesn’t show up at all in disk management. It also makes it so that file manager and disk management turn slow and fail. Does anyone have a similar experience?
My cheap verbatim ssd does exactly that, when plugged in using a usb3 to sata adapter, it shows up in explorer but the moment i try to access it everything freezes. And when its plugged directly to the motherboard the pc fails to boot at all.
I do. The boot drive is 100% health, running. Sudden power outage and poof. Cannot boot. The bios and windows detected the drive, but froze when attempt to read/access the disk content 😢. For now I try to run the ssd without sata cable for day and see if "other youtube claimed" self-repair function work.
Hi I have a question. I have a laptop that’s still under warranty but has died. I have removed the SSD from it and backed it up to an external hard drive but now I need to send the laptop to the manufacture to be repaired with the SSD reinstalled into the laptop but before I reinstall it, I would like to know how I can wipe it so none of my data is on it, even though my laptop is dead, and will not turn on? Thanks for any help you can provide😊
Hi! The best way is to use a Hiren's Boot CD Disk Wipe to wipe clean that SSD. But if you don't have that, you can just use the Window's Disk Management to format and repartition your hard disk. Repartition means break the SSD into 2 or 3 parts and format each part so they won't bother looking up anything in there. You can do all of that in Windows Disk Management.
@@ReynaxisSolutions Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate your advice, and I will definitely make an attempt at this with the help of your instruction. Lol wish me luck. Thanks again I’ll let you know how it goes.😉🤞🏻☺
Let me get this straight. Is it just to remove the shorted components and leave without replacing? Aren't they there for a reason and the board might just not turn on without them?
I think that the shorted caps that I removed are filter caps, so removing them will still make the board work which is good enough to give me time to recover the data that I need.
So I am planning to use this same SSD to record on straight from a camera monitor. 1. What are my chances of this SSD failing? 2. If lets say it fails during a wedding I am shooting, Will I be able to recover what I had already recorded. Thanks
If the SSD is brand new, I would not worry about it failing. It doesn't have a mechanical parts so the risk is low. I would not use a second hand ssd for that important occassion because SSD it has a built-in time of death.
That's the problem I have, it's just not there, nothing shows at all. And all that happened to it was a dodgy update, but now it's totally dead. The red light on the ssd board comes on, but that's your lot. Just dead as a Dodo!

Hi, I have never tried interrupting the process of decrypting BitLocker's encryption. You may try and decrypt it again. But usually, if the decryption fails, we can still format it. We've tested that hypothesis before by encrypting a flash drive and formatting it. It cleared the data and we can reuse the flash drive. But in your case, I'm not sure what went wrong with it. I guess you'll have to discard the SSD.
@@ReynaxisSolutions Thank you for the answer, but I have to say that I am not able to unlock the drive with the password or recovery word and I only recovered my data using software. Now it is not possible to delete the partition or the SSD format and I get this error message: "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device"
Good job Mr🙂👍
Thanks! 😃
That was amaazing. but did you replace the capacitor with another one or just took that out.
Hi, no, I did not replace the caps.
Thank you that's Beautiful keep yes good
I’m going to get myself a multimeter and try it out!! Got a ssd which died on me like two days ago. If the fix will work for an hour to copy it all, i would be really happy 😀😀😀
Hi, yes please try it. It's an enjoyable hobby for us men. 😊
Man that tough one bro by ssd my ssd is fine good health it 2 year old it replacement old hard drive now it ssd is better 👌 your video is easy fixed ssd problem thank
Thanks bro.
I some what have the same problem. I have 3 larger size square caps not the small rectangler ones. The three show continuity which im guessing is bad. Do you know what i could replace them with?
You could try and remove them one by one and see if the ssd will work. If all those 3 caps removed and ssd still didn't work, return them and find a similar cap.
where are you guys? what country. ? Do you not use the Ace 3000 software?
Hi, we are in Papua New Guinea. No, we don't use the Ace 3000 software.
Nice video Sir. The tools/equipment you used, the Multimeter and the microscope are provided by the company? Or those are your personal stuff?
One more thing, did you replace one component in the board? And solder it again. Or you just remove the one that is shortened?
Thanks sir. These tools are my personal and I bought these with my own money.

Hello. I have a problem. My usb mouse was broken and i had error “power surge on usb port damage”. After couple of this errors my Dell lagged and blue death screen appeared. I reload my laptop because of instant 0% - and then after restart black screen appeared with “no bootable device” error.
With diagnostics on F5 i have problem “hard drive not installed”. Changing boot settings from Legacy to UEFI didn’t help.
Is my hard drive dead, or it can be revived? Will be all my data gone? Or it can particularly saved?
Hi, try plugging in your hard drive on an external harddisk enclosure and hope that it can still read it. If not, you may have to send it to a tech who can recover or fixed your hard disk.
Nice ...
So ... a "shorted" capacitor will stay "hot" ??? (thermal camera)
Do you ave the link to that model of Microscope ?
Hi, yes, correct. Shorted caps will appear hot in thermal cameras.
Here's the link for Seek Thermal CompactPro. www.amazon.com/Seek-LQ-AAA-Compactpro-iOS/dp/B07GX8XTG5/ref=sr_1_1?crid=SNVUK3CKOYLA&keywords=seek%2Bthermal%2Bcompact%2Bpro&qid=1650581821&sprefix=seek%2Bthermal%2Caps%2C514&sr=8-1&th=1
So you just removed the capacitors that were shortened and thats it?
So no replacement just remove everything thats shortened?
Hi, if it is a faulty resistor or faulty diode, you must replace. In my case, there's so many caps in the logic board that removing some doesn't have to be replaced. If you have a replacement capacitor, then replacing it is a must.
What’s that multi hard drive reader you got called?
It's called a Muti-Function HDD Docking. It's basically a dock that can read 2 SATA hard drives/SSD port and 1 IDE port for older types of hard disk. It's also capable of doing an offline cloning, meaning, it doesn't need to connect to a PC to clone a hard drive. ua-cam.com/video/mEqqM0SeUew/v-deo.html
What do you charge ?
whats the name of tool you used to open the ssd? can't find one any where
Suction cup clamp mobile phone opener.
Nice tools and all but you removed the caps and replaced with what? What are the values ? Where can we get the schematics ?
Thanks. I did not have to replace the caps.
Hello brother,,thank u for sharing
Thanks brother
I have the very same drive. I installed an NVME and about two hours later my SSD died.
Shows in Device Manager using an extremal USB3 caddy, but not in Disk Management. And the PC won't boot with it plugged into SATA or USB.
The ssd might have a shorted component.
I want to replace a capacitor that is shorted on my SSD drive but I don't know which replacement I have to buy I see so many different kinds (NF,UF, PF + numbers). The only visual reference that I have (on my case) is a capacitor L4 but I can't find it as so.
I think any SMD filter capacitor would do. Usually, if it's a filter capacitor, it's ok to not to replace it as long as the data is recovered from the ssd. Then once data is recovered, I would not use the ssd again.
@@ReynaxisSolutions I only want the data back. At the moment I can load the disk with a external disk reader, but it is two slow to load the files and at a moment it just stops responding. I'm new to this, so I don't know if the setting I used on mt multimeter are correct, I got a reading of 002 on the L4 cap and a short, also I get a red light when the disc is connected , I don't know if that means anything. In any case once I manage to find the L4 I'll use your instruction to replace it. Thank you.
You can try and remove the shorted caps and see if that solves your problem. But if not, you'll have to solder the caps back to the board. But be careful though as the heat from the soldering gun or from the hot air could damage the other component.
@@ReynaxisSolutions Ok. thank you very much. I will try.
How did you what capacitance new caps should have?
Hi, by looking at another same SSD that has the same model.
This method works for other SSD brands? Such as Kingston or Gigabyte
Hi, yes.
just to clarify, it is a remove and replace the shorted parts rigth?
Hi, removed.
Bro my wd ssd is not formatting and whenever i try to format it the data is back to its original form, have tried cmd, software eveything which was possible now my questions what is the issue and can it be fixed?
Sir, watching your video, do you replace the damage capacitor with new capacitor?
Hi Sir, no I did not replace the capacitor. It's advisable to replace it but it can also work without it.
Thanks, I was wondering that too.🦧
@@ReynaxisSolutions does this apply to all capacitors?
You really are a professional a very well epxlained and detailed video that actually shows how to fix the thing but the music was quite annoying and loud
Hi, thank you so much for the compliment and an honest feedback. I will definitely stay away from putting in too much music background in the future.
@@ReynaxisSolutions np sir thank to you too , btw i have an adata su650 which seems to have the same problem but unlike the capacitor in the video the source of excessive temperature seems to be coming from a chip with the realtek logo on it will it work if i had to remove that chip or does it need a replacement
That chip with Realtek logo is the controller on board. Try to measure the components around the chip and see if they are shorted or open.

wow, thanks for sharing
Thank you.
Did you replace the caps you removed?
In this case, not necessarily because we only need to copy the important data.
My ssd doesn’t show up at all in disk management. It also makes it so that file manager and disk management turn slow and fail. Does anyone have a similar experience?
I do please comment a solution if you find it.
My cheap verbatim ssd does exactly that, when plugged in using a usb3 to sata adapter, it shows up in explorer but the moment i try to access it everything freezes. And when its plugged directly to the motherboard the pc fails to boot at all.
@@kingi7607 same problem with my kingston A400
I do. The boot drive is 100% health, running. Sudden power outage and poof. Cannot boot. The bios and windows detected the drive, but froze when attempt to read/access the disk content 😢. For now I try to run the ssd without sata cable for day and see if "other youtube claimed" self-repair function work.
Yes I do
Soooo.... you replaced the shorted capacitor or just left it removed shorted pieces? I also have not working crucial P2 SSD.
Ok nevermind i saw a similar comment with the answer
So only copy and no more write?
I mean that's an M.2 NVME SSD
Hi, i just removed it.
Hi I have a question. I have a laptop that’s still under warranty but has died. I have removed the SSD from it and backed it up to an external hard drive but now I need to send the laptop to the manufacture to be repaired with the SSD reinstalled into the laptop but before I reinstall it, I would like to know how I can wipe it so none of my data is on it, even though my laptop is dead, and will not turn on? Thanks for any help you can provide😊
Hi! The best way is to use a Hiren's Boot CD Disk Wipe to wipe clean that SSD. But if you don't have that, you can just use the Window's Disk Management to format and repartition your hard disk. Repartition means break the SSD into 2 or 3 parts and format each part so they won't bother looking up anything in there. You can do all of that in Windows Disk Management.
@@ReynaxisSolutions Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate your advice, and I will definitely make an attempt at this with the help of your instruction. Lol wish me luck. Thanks again I’ll let you know how it goes.😉🤞🏻☺
Hi, best of luck to you. :)
Wow astig namn po... Idol
Thanks lodi
That was fun!
That's some nice fine dining music there 😁
Let me get this straight. Is it just to remove the shorted components and leave without replacing?
Aren't they there for a reason and the board might just not turn on without them?
I think that the shorted caps that I removed are filter caps, so removing them will still make the board work which is good enough to give me time to recover the data that I need.
My new sdd Kingston dont work just black screen and error 1962 on it, but when i put my old in agian its working without any problems..
So I am planning to use this same SSD to record on straight from a camera monitor. 1. What are my chances of this SSD failing? 2. If lets say it fails during a wedding I am shooting, Will I be able to recover what I had already recorded. Thanks
If the SSD is brand new, I would not worry about it failing. It doesn't have a mechanical parts so the risk is low. I would not use a second hand ssd for that important occassion because SSD it has a built-in time of death.
Fixed? Did you replace the caps?
Hi, no.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching.
Ang galing salamat sa pag share full support from kuya hfty
Thank you po.
Is there anything you can do if the drive doesn't even appear at all?
I'll have to inspect the logic board.
That's the problem I have, it's just not there, nothing shows at all.
And all that happened to it was a dodgy update, but now it's totally dead.
The red light on the ssd board comes on, but that's your lot.
Just dead as a Dodo!
Good Sir, may I ask how much would be the total cost (in peso) for this whole fix? Might as well add a breakdown of the cost if possible. 😊 Thank you for this very informative video!
Hi sir, I'm currently working in Papua New Guinea so I have not idea on how much the techs in the Philippines are charging for this repair/data recovery.
Hello are you still in Papua New Guinea? i would like send you my SSD card for repair do you accept that?
Hi sir, at the moment po hindi ako tumatanggap ng parcel from overseas for the risk of it getting lost.
Nice sharing
