Hi Folks,

I have a a Seagate ST4000DX000 with faulty PCB - looks like a classic TVS problem.
But i never seen this PCB, and can't find the TVS's on this one.
Please see PCB on the links below:

The devices near the SATA power connector appear to be electronic fuses.

I would test the output side of each fuse. If the corresponding voltage is not present, then test for a short circuit between the output and ground.

NIS5135 appears to be equivalent to STEF05:
