thank you for the video. Mine has a power and spinning and searching for the files all day and no files has been recovered. Is there somethings you can help please?
2:57 I always put it in a baggy then put it in the freezer for 20 minutes then try reading when cold. it is always 50/50 if freezing it works. If freezing it works then the drive must have locked up being super hot. Sometimes just a one inch drop test. But I am interested in how you repair or get data off this one.
My issue, is. I have a Seagate my second one. My first one "died "2 years ago. So, I got the same exact cope and model. And today it failed just like my last one. The light turns on, I hear the chime, the light flickers. It just won't show up on the Mycomputer tab. When it does load, it takes time, then becomes unresponsive. I'm not sure if both drives have failed, or they just need a new driver. I used them both to hold my games, music, and movies. I hate to think that I lost them all. It took me years to get the back after the first drive failed. And now most of my Fallout 4/Skyrim mods I cannot get again. Please I need help.
ever tried knocking it gently on the sides? Just a small little bump to the long sides of the drive. It might be that the reading/writing head is stuck somewhere, and you may be able to knock it loose. BUT: Very gentle knock. Not with a hammer, not like a primate. AND: Be prepared that it wont work, or might even damage the drive further. But i must say that i have had suc6 with it with 2 different hard drives. They gave me the opportunity to get most of the data off of them before i threw them away.
Well, i say: backups. ssd, memory cards. I have had the same problem once, and it almost made me go crazy. Because i have no clue what i actually lost. I know i had a gazillion movies and stuff on it (downloaded in the good old days). Huge music collection. All kinds of programs and what not. And so i had to start over again from scratch. Several years later now and i must say that i do not even miss what i do not know i had.
plus we are in an age where almost everything is on Sjitflix or such service. And STEAM or such game services have almost every game in their library, so i dont worry too much about it anymore.
I appreciate the effort... keep going but.. you didnt clearly explain that or which capacitor went bad and the reasoning behind it all. Anyways, im sure you will get better at this style of videos which i admit isnt so straight forward
This is a full video because after this kind of issue (a board level repair), the disk appears fully functional and you have access of all files without any problem
He could have just as easily gotten a donor WD drive and transferred the board from the good drive to the bad one. I feel like he's making this more complicated than it needs to be.
a lot of people who say that dont use externals for what they are made for -back up only. dont leave them running for hours at a time and dont let windows defrag them and antivirus scan them as they have no way to stay cool and so overheat in sustained use -also i believe (no way of knowing for sure) they are pushed on price competition therefore use "b grade"drives this will be in all brands ive used wd ,seagate, tosh, hitachi, samsung ,maxtor since 1999 and when fan cooled no one brand except toshiba and samsung stood out as unreliable

I don't understand. He desolder 2 component and solder them back - now its start? Can someone explain to me how?
is it cause of broken resistance

Agreed, no idea what led him to test those 3 components...what they are...why he removed them. Overall not a helpful video at all.
Where are you from
How to remove the screws? I wasn't able
Is it possible to show the process of getting that data recovered? For those that want to do it*
* At their own risk.

@@darrenmurphy6251 Thanks for that info.
How can I send you my harddrive for recovery
My light goes on but nothing else occurs.
i dont think this is a 'how to' video...
Watch Alex from NorthRidge Fix, he's a lot better i've seen.
You didn’t fix anything. What was the defective part
Watch Alex from NorthRidge Fix, he's a lot better i've seen.
He supposedly changed out one of cap but I doubt that fixed it since both of thoes caps are parallel .
My light come on but no spending
