Just 3 days ago i came across one Youtube video for repair of burnt diode of SEAGATE PCB just below Power connector.
just 3 hours ago my pcb of seagate PCB burnt. I searched for the video for the last one hour but could not find it.
the video will give confidence of repairing the PCB.
I request friends to give link of the video if they know.

I would suggest uploading a high res photo of the component side of the PCB so that people can help point you in the right direction. Remember DIY can destroy your drive.

I don't understand what information a Youtube video would give you. Simply desolder the bad diode, or snip it with flush cutters. Then solder a replacement diode in its place. Just make sure that the striped end of the diode lines up with the positive supply (there should be a "v" on the PCB).

Dear friends,
I know it is easy. But the video gives CONFIDENCE which i require most now.
