Replace your Diode and try if it's diode problem it should work after changing with New same Diode...........

Disconnect the PCB from the HDD
and attach a power cable to the PCB and power ON
check this TVS Diode 5v or 12v with your multimeter, if it reads 5v or 12v it is not a diode issue
if Not reading, then its dead and need to be replaced
make sure u dont move any other components while using Hot Air, sometimes little more Air and other tiny components will not be noticed will be moved.
good luck
