Hi all Gurus!

I have here a clicking WD drive.

i need SATA adaptation points to diagnose it better (i have no donnor PCB)

my PCB is:
2060-771949-000 REV P1

i atach Picture.

Thaks in advanced

I believe you want to remove the capacitors marked in the following and connect your data lines to E71-E73, E75. I'll let you figure out which are Rx +/- and Tx +/-.




BTW, you can figure the above out by taking high-res images of each side, flipping the component-view image horizontally, overlaying the two with 50% transparency, aligning them and then combining them into a single image, as shown below. That lets you see where the Rx/Tx lines connect to the coupling caps.

i suppose:
c13= a+
c13= a-

But

c33 = XXXX?
cNoNumber = XXXX?

As a general rule, locate a SATA PCB with the same MCU and follow the SATA Tx/Rx differential pairs from the MCU to the SATA data connector:
