SAMSUNG HD402LJ - TVS, PCB ?

July 23rd, 2013, 19:04

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
