Hello, I have an OCZ Agility 3 with 120GB that has failed. It won't show any signs of life. I've online that this uses the dreaded Sandforce controller. I wanted to know if anyone knew of any methods to bring this back to life? I want to recover the data that's on there. Here is what the PCB looks like: Attachment: IMG_9738.jpg [ 1.96 MiB | Viewed 11207 times ] Attachment: IMG_9739.jpg [ 1.83 MiB | Viewed 11207 times ] |

Measure the supply voltages. EN6337QI, Altera / Enpirion, 3A, 2.5V to 6.6V, PowerSoC DC-DC Step-Down Converter: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/ds/en6337qi_05800.pdf |

Just not experienced enough to translate that ask into action. I got my multimeter out and prodding the thing for a while, but just not sure how to translate the pin out diagram to reality. If anyone can help with more novice advice, it'd be appreciated. Thanks |

You need to measure Vout (see datasheet). The test points would be at capacitors C27/C28 and C13/C14. |

put the black probe on a "Ground" ("-") location, and the red on whatever the datasheet says is a Vcc (+) connection. the value your multimeter says is the "reading". If you are told to measure at capacitors, then put the black probe on a "Ground" and red on the capacitor and report values. a picture is useful, and example of a useful one looks like : https://forum.hddguru.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=40472&p=284692&hilit=can+you+measure+voltages#p284692 |
