Hello,
I've removed TVS 12v and 5v but always the same thing... it doen't spin.
On the multimeter :
TVS 12v = 02.3
TVS 5v = 1
FUSE (000) = 00.9
X125F 16V = 00.9
Do you think the PCB is dead ?
Can you help me ?
Thank you in advance.

No it doesn't spin at all and yes I have an usb TTL adaptator used only one time for a seagate busy

tank you for the link but there is not enough info on what to do like with the seagate

is it safe to do this test without the TVS ?
on this model there is nothing to transfer on the new pcb ?
just swap with a new one that's all ?

first I tried to connect the TTL on the drive without power.
do I need to powered the drive for this kind of test ?
then I tryed to found who is tx or rx because like I said there is not enough info..
I saw lights activity on the TTL and in the terminal the same thing in loop but I don't remember what exactly...
next step was to powered the drive and when I does that, it started to spin !!!
I don't know if it's the TTL or something else but a BIG THANK YOU anyway !
Ps to admin : I can't edit the topic name for putting "solved" inside
