pin for safe mode

[IAitaliassistance]

Hi everyone, this NVE is compatible with the PC3K, but I need to know which pins to use to put the drive into safe mode; has anyone worked on this before?

How about those two BIG holes at the end of PCB?

i try it but not fuction

[fzabkar]

have u checked the supplies n efuse?

I haven't run any tests yet; I was hoping to find someone who had already worked on it to tell me the key points directly

[fzabkar]

measure the voltages at the inductors those are the key points

by 'Key points' I think they mean the points for shorting for test mode, not key as in relevant

What is the point of futzing about with safe mode if the basic tests of hardware functionality haven't been carried out? There are four stepdown converters and one e-fuse. It would take less than 5 minutes to locate the power supply test points and verify them.

Similar SSD ...

I gave you your answer ... twice. If you can't enter safe mode, it's because the hardware is broken. You can't fix broken hardware from behind a keyboard. You need to do some real troubleshooting. A competent technician needs only a few minutes to verify the power supplies. Watch the video and learn something.

All the capacitors and currents show no signs of imbalance, so—oh genius—if the electronics are fine and I can't get into safe mode via the pinouts, what do *you* think the problem is, in your infinite wisdom?

My advice is to outsource the job to someone who understands the technology. I confess I have yet to see a "balanced" capacitor. Personally, I would test for "imbalance" at the inductors, but what do I know.

My question was: Has anyone worked on this specific SSD and can confirm the safe mode points for me—if they differ from the norm—to save on research time (since nobody pays €7,000 for a data recovery job)? I’m an industry expert and know exactly what I’m doing, but if I can cut down on the legwork, that’s a plus. There’s no need to be condescending; if that’s how you treat clients, I don’t think you’re much of a guru.

I provided a video where an experienced technician is working on exactly the same SSD, and I saved you the trouble of watching the entire video by linking to the exact moment where the technician is shorting the safe/ROM mode test points. Why are you still asking the same question? What is your problem, expert?

[IAitaliassistance]

I hadn't seen the video; the fact remains that you're responding as if you're on your period.

Then show me some respect and watch the video.

[IAitaliassistance]

if u want to respect, give me your respect, if u are in red period it is not my fault, adios.

fzabkar is all over the internet with their research and work. Who are you? lol
