Hi Folks,
I made the mistake of swapping power supplies in two of my pc's, a evga 850w with a evga 1000w, and switched all cables except sata. The result overvolted 2 of my 860 evo 1 tb ssd's. Yes now I know I should have paid attention to the manual to always use original cables, but I thought since same manufacturer it would be fine (it would be nice of evga to prevent future user error by changing their form factors for the differing cables). I have read a couple posts here of similar situation with 850 evo ssd where replacing the e-fuse with a STEF4S repaired the drive. I have been trying to identify the efuse on the 860 but the layout is a bit different from the 850. Any guidance is appreciated, I would like to get these drives operable again. Fortunately I had nearly all important files backed up in the cloud, but still some I would like to retrieve. I have a few STEF4S ic's already ordered if they turn out necessary.
I don't see any burn damage and there was no smoke nor smell, just the drives could not be recognized by bios. Thanks for your help.
