Western Digital WD20EVDS DOM 01-2011 diode question

October 20th, 2022, 8:43

Hi i have a WD20EVDS DOM 01-2011.

The HDD doesn't want to start up. So i've checked the circuit board under the mircoscope.

The is a diode (D4) labeled ON 6LG R047 that seems to be bad, because it's continious in both directions. Might be a Zener diode, but i'm pretty shure it's not.

Any information on that diode would be helpful. Also with what diode i can replace it with; don't have a donor board.

Thanks

It's TVS diode manufactered by ON Semiconductor

It's a protection component, the purpose is to protect the rest of circuit from over voltages.
