Samsung 1.5tb drive won't spin up

April 13th, 2020, 18:13

Hi

This is a data drive which suddenly wont spin up and isnt recognised in the bios.

I watched a video that suggested that it could be one of the diodes which I checked and one registers a value and the other beeps. So guess the one that beeps is fried

The hdd is a samsung spinpoint hd154ui

If I purchased another drive the same can I just swap out the pcb and be good to go or is there something else I can do

I just want to get the data off and move to a new drive

Thanks
Kwack

and the other beeps.

Remove the diode and check the power circuit to ground. If all is well, turn on the drive.
