A tvs actualy doing its job =) U are a lucky one my friend =) gz

Do we have any values for D3 and D4 ? My D4 is not easy to identify as it is "smoked" ?

Thanks, Jens

Replace it and you should be good to go.

You can replace the 12V and 5V TVS diodes with an SMBJ12A and an SMAJ5.0A, respectively. Both are available from Farnell, Mouser, Digikey.

hello Dobre, Heinz and others

i have same drive with same problem.

i like to check R64, R67, D3, D4.

can u recommend on tool to check thses pieces

tks

just need a multimiter m8. Diode that blew up will be short.

To test the resistances of each component with a multimeter (DMM), you need to set the DMM to the 200 ohms resistance range. Connect the black probe lead to the DMM's COM banana socket, and the red probe to the Volt/Ohm socket. Then connect the probe tips to each side of the diode. If the meter reads near zero, then the diode is shorted. Note that the meter leads will have a finite resistance which you can verify by touching the probe tips together.

This tutorial should help you:

Read "Example 1. Testing a resistor".

thank u very much Alexii and fzabkar

hello friends

can i take D4 diode from other drive and solder it on this board without any harm?

tks

If your other drive has the same PCB, then swapping D4 should be OK.

Just be aware that D4 is the circuit reference, not a part number. This means that D4 on a different board may refer to a completely different diode.

hello fzabkar

thank u very much for your quick answer
