It can be removed to get it to flow again.Ĭoncerning measuring voltage/resistance on the board I am the most noobish of noobs - I found a digital multimeter around here but I don't know how to operate it or where to put the leads (is that the right word?) I know that resistance is measured from one end of the component to the other end and voltage is measured against ground or something. Solution #3 There is a safety diode which short circuits when there is consistently higher voltage input. The component can be removed and the pins wired together - this permanently powers up the PCB (we only turned a power switch permanently on) Solution #2: This model with USB 3.0 sometimes has problems with a MOSFET component which does not switch power. Question: Which WD models require chip import and which do not? Sometimes this doesn't work because the encryption key is unique for every PCB/HDD combination - another PCB would generate different key! There is a workaround - importing the responsible chip from the old PCB (patient) to the new one (donor). Solution #1: Get another PCB from the same HDD with the same number. Relevant information I found during my research:
I intend to go to a not-so-local computer service store to ask them to try different cable with the disk, but that is not going to happen right on Monday (today is Saturday for future reference) so I figured I could look into it with someone's help. I have no means to determine if the cable is the faulty component here - I have no other USB3 micro device to use with the cable or another cable to use with the disk. The disk worked fine regardless, although sticking the cable in the disk met with stronger-than-usual resistance. BUT more than half a year back the usb cable end part got a little bent - no more than a millimeter. Over the course of more than 2 years, the HDD has fallen several times - not higher than knee height and always on carpet. Recent behavior: nothing unusual, HDD did not fall, there were no blackouts and AFAIK no power surges, no strange noises. Due to the encryption, however, it showed up as unallocated space.Ĥ061-705089-001 REV. I removed the pcb and connected the disk to motherboard directly via SATA - it DID show up and seemed to work flawlessly. The relevant information was too scarce to be of much help, so I decided to post here. I looked up several other posts by people with the same issue and done some digging prior to this post. HDD doesn't do anything at all when connected to PC. PCB PHOTO ATTACHED TO THE POST resolution: 3264x2448ĭear gurus, I seek your help to determine what's wrong with the board (if anything).
