Clicking Sound due to Rupture of Component in Samsung.SOLVED

July 12th, 2015, 8:02

My Samsung Hd154UI disk clicks.
i'd search with magnifying glass and see a component missing below of Smooth chip.

there is a trace of solder that area.
changed with resistor but no help.

later i buy hd154ui and see original one Hd154UI.

missing component isn't resistor.. (maybe)

labell with number (as i remember that is 270 or 702 ...)

change with original component and hdd works properly..

Since some Samsung HDD's PCB component area in exposed, it is often the case users damage the drive by hitting it against other tough surfaces. The most frequent in my experience is when users remove the drive from computers cases and external drives. Loos like a resistor.

The resistor values are marked according to EIA-96:
