seagate st3500418as 7200.12 tvs ??

August 31st, 2011, 15:54

Hi to all cracks,

Please help: I have searched through many forum replies to find out if the red circled
part is a TVS and if so which one??

I plugged in a wrong power cable and now the disk is not spinning any more. I tested
the different components with a meter (beep for working) and found that the circled
component was not beeping...

Can I remove this part without further damaging the disk??

Thanks for your replies.

Post a clear image of the complete PCB, not just part of it.

Yes, post a clear picture of whole pcb, not only parts of it....And about red circle component that is the quartz oscillator so leave it where it is , you don't need to replace it for sure.....
