Hello guys

I came across this site in my search of a solution for a hard drive fix

I have this client that asked me if i could get his data out of his dead hard drive, and i say okay i wanna give it a go!

He told me the drive would not read in when pluged in, maybee wrong power connected to it back in the days or something he dont know he cant remember because its a old drive with pictures on it he wants

First i thought it was stuck reader arm, but it was not and everything in there seamed fine, so i started to search and found some videos and info in google that TVS diode can go bad, so i took out the circuit board and started measuring on it, but the thing is i am not sure what readings i should get on the diffrent diodes, fuses, capasitators hope you can help me out here and also maybe find my problem and tell me if its something DIY or its a board replacement and a bios swap?

i am pretty sure i am on the right pass, but this may be out of my range

i post some pictures of the board and some videos of me measuring on the board, maybe you can tell me what i need to test and what out it have to give, i am pretty sure i am doing something right in locateing the problem but again not sure

PLS help

Best regard
Gizzar

Board is a Hitachi 250gb 0A58732 <--- white label number

this suggests you opened the drive?

And, what is the drive's behavior? Does it spin up at all?
