What a lifesaver, I thought I had lost unreplaceable wedding and family videos. My connection was damaged, but it wouldn't pop up on my computer. I took off the adapter and slapped into external case I had lying around and it popped right up. Thanks for the video and thanks to seagate for not soldering to a board. Seagate for life.
Great video! I've got a seagate drive and the connection looks fine. I took it into the local computer shop and they said I would have to pay a data recovery firm to try and pull the information of it . They said it didn't "post" on their machine. Given all this, is there another way to get the information of a seagate drive? The cost of data recovery is around $1000. thanks.
For that one other person out there who has an old Fantom external drive that came with an eSATA port and eSATA cable - if it fails, try the usb-b port that is on the drive if it has one; it's shaped like a square. Buy a cable with usb-a on the other end since the eSATA connector on your computer may be bad. I didn't even know it was a type of usb port. Luckily, my old Canon printer came with one of those cable so I just plugged it in and it worked.
I did that to my Seagate, LOVE IT and I'll only buy those from now on...I HAVE THAT TOSHIBA DRIVE THOUGH! It GOES ON, SPINS, but not recognized...should I just replace the plug in piece a.k.a. solder in a new one?!?! Do you have a video fixing it!!! I've been trying to figure it out for 5yrs.
Thx for your instructions! But my Problem is different. My external Hard Drive fell to the ground several times and now when I plug in the Hard Drive, it becomes weird noises and the PC doesn't recognize my external Hard Drive anymore. Is it now totally broken or not?
for external hdd go for seagate brand.. I have external toshiba and I thought toshiba have removable connector.. good to buy enclosure external and 2.5 ssd or hdd for inexpensive maintanace.. thanks man.. buti di ko masyadong nilalaspag 1tb pa naman..
I ripped out a 2TB drive form the older seagate external drive. put it into a USB drive adpater. but cpmputer managemnt wants to format the disk. the 3 partitions 1 raw, and 2 UN-allocated. this seems strange when it was working, buit the external connected died and was all working before that. it's an older usb-2 , btu was workign before the older usb-2 plug would not connect in anymore.
buy a sony camera brother! life changing!!! focus is a primarly thing you need for your business! top even the cheapest zv-e10 is a monster with option of product showcase! check it up cheers bro!
How ensures is this method? Is there any risk of lost data by doing this? I have so many near and dear to my heart files, and all of a sudden my laptop doesn’t find it… the plug in sound and the light turns on but I can’t find it in anywhere not even in Disk Management… what should I do my brother?
I have a question. If you, or anyone else here can help, please! Now, I have a Seagate Drive which I purchased from Costco. My computer (and others, I tried it on others thought it was just my computer) recognizes it fine, all the time, all files pop up (ironically, the small light on it ironically does not appear). HOWEVER, I cannot access the files, and each time I get the option for "scanning and repairing", it is never able to do so. I do not think my files are encrypted, but do any of you know what might be going on? If anyone can help, I would be eternally grateful. I thankfully have many backup files on a small USB, but I have many other files on the seagate (that I have been working so hard on) that I need to backup onto another seagate that was purchased for me.
I hwve hitachi hdd 500 gb it doenst show any partition nor in device managment nor in driver ..! Ita all hidden i tried many software none works when i connect it i just hewr a sound of fan a nd the led light turn on and doesnt flash .. how can i fix it ..??
Do you know what the problem is if the hard drive is taking forever to transfer or reading a file? It took several hours before my Mac was able to registered the hd. Now I’m trying to transfer all the data onto my desktop and it’s taken days and it’s still on “preparing files for download”
I just moved most of my data of 25+ years last night to a Seagate SRD00F1. I left it on over night. When I plugged it in this morning, windows sees the drive, but it is not accessible. Do you think this trick may work if I open it and move it to a caddy?
Please, please do not set that hard drive from which you removed the broken connector off to the right where the port cannot be seen. One would need to see the port configuration of the hard drive which is plugged into your "sled" Please spend a few seconds to show the ports you are connecting. You took too much time showing the broken USB port and the connector. Show the sled port and the hard drive port being connected at good close-up. Otherwise this demo is not ultimately useful. Thanks for the leads in any case..
At times, I understood just fine, and English is 2nd language. eSata interface is about gone. There was another called FireWire, gone too. USB type C is holding. Good luck
Hello, my name is Mark. Sir, how do I get the device sled as you spoke in the video to recover data from a damaged external drive. I have several external that I need to recover some lost data. Thank you and great videos.
Hope you liked my rant after the simple repair. This channel is about information rather than only just quick solutions...from a tech shop to you =)

was the model number or more information about the sled needed for this posted here ?

i have this same problem
If you dropped it chances are nil to fix. The platters get scratched and the heads ruined.
Just happened to me. He has another video explaining how to fix the issue we're facing.
@@3-piece129 Hi, could not find the video. Could you share the link please?
Hi, same thing here. Were you able to recover your files? If so... how did you recover your files?
where do you buy the sled? I cannot find it anywhere online
Me either
what of sled could be used in order to perform the distraction of files
Is there any way to do a video on how to fix head failure after a fall (and not just the connector?) Thanks!
Thank you for this content! Looks like I need to buy a sled.
where did you find yours? I can't find the sled anywhere
Thank you for great explanation 👋 but I was stressed and I hit my hard drive and I think I won't be able to recover my files anymore 😓
for external hdd go for seagate brand.. I have external toshiba and I thought toshiba have removable connector.. good to buy enclosure external and 2.5 ssd or hdd for inexpensive maintanace.. thanks man.. buti di ko masyadong nilalaspag 1tb pa naman..
Just a question. I have an old Seagate hard drive. That I can't find the software for Maxtor how do i retrieve my photos off it?

Thank you! You helped me solve my problem. Appreciate the video and guidance.
My seagate is making a beep, I just want to back it up if I can, can you make a video on that or do you have one?
How did you remove the cover to open the drive? It wasn't very clear. Thanks.

Did it work for you?
Hey buddy.. Mine is seagate too but it's an earlier version which is quite big like a brick and heavy.. Is it safe to open it and follow your steps? 😢

Okay, thank you. BUT... how did you get the case open? Thanks!
Found it on another channel - use two guitar picks to safely crack open the case without damaging it 🙂

Most likely the head is failing. The more you use it, the worse it will get

Get a sata dock station... Data shows right up
where do you buy those?
I drop mine while tranfering
Nice video... and by the way, I thought you were Roger Federer... Just kidding
Try talking slower and more clearly, i could not understand most of what you said and i am an english speaking person, you were talking to fast.
At times, I understood just fine, and English is 2nd language. eSata interface is about gone. There was another called FireWire, gone too. USB type C is holding. Good luck

Really enjoy the content, at the moment. Quick and useful videos. Just like @NorthridgeFix
Thank you for your kind words and for watching!
Jeez mate. STOP WAFFLING and get to the POINT! You obviously know what you are doing but you make it all so tedious by running your mouth so much.
