I can't find the TVS on this drive. If you could assist that would be great.

Thanks

No TVS. Find a matching board (match the first two lines on that little white sticker) then swap U5 chip ( the 8-pin chip on the far left of the pic) to the donor board

That is if it is just a bad board.

There is a protection diode at D2 near the Molex power connector.
