Post subject:	how to convert USB to SATA in a Samsung HM100UX
Hello Guys, I have a USB 2.0 1Tb 2.5 Samsung HM100UX. There is something wrong with the usb connection. When I connect the usb cable the pcb does nothing, no lights. I was able to find a power point in the board like you can see in the pictures and I can power up the drive, light shows and motor spins. Tried to connect the usb cable at the same time but the drive spins for a minute and then stops. I think the only solution is to convert it to sata connection. Can anyone tell me the sata connection locations? http://gyazo.com/e64b6a82f8fa8a755524b519b7dfecc5 http://gyazo.com/9bf9183243dc285630d8444da2fe2a97 Thanks guys

FWIW, there was a fairly recent thread where the solution was to reflow a dry solder joint at a chip inductor near the USB connector. Might be worth a look ... viewtopic.php?f=1&t=25581&p=174993 The attachment shows the SATA Tx/Rx coupling capacitors ... I think.

the post is two years old but I have same problem. Upload pinout JM20339 and datasheet. It could be helpful to other users. Attachments: JM20339_datasheet_v2.3.pdf [440.16 KiB] Downloaded 1828 times Captura.PNG [ 108.34 KiB | Viewed 7441 times ]
