You are a star, this just worked for me too. Some flux on the connector and heated with the soldering iron. Works again now. Never again will I buy a cheap HDD again!

[baistosh]

wow your fixing really look legit man, , like other youtube channels where they first investigate and open the platter..

Even though I have a different HDD, it was a pleasure to watch your video. Thankyou.

Great job, assuming someone badly needed the data from what is typically$100 drive these days, and said data is nor backed up elsewhere, and deems that data worthy of data recovery/drive repair services!

Mine is working it's just that it Keeps getting errors when I connect it into my ps4

[mickeymoto]

you gave me hope. my hard drive is broken now :(

I think its the connection of my external drive because it used to just blink and just now, I reconnected cable after seeing your video and the light stopped blinking and I can hear it spinning like normal only think I want to see is it pops up on my PC. Any suggestions ??

Thank you. I have a 1 TB SEAGATE BACKUP PLUS EXTERNAL HDD . I use it by attaching it with my honor 7x mobile through OTG for data transfer (bothside). I purchased it 11 months back from flipkart. I use it max once or twice in a month. I used it with desktop 3 times only since purchased. Yesterday when i was working with in by attaching it my mobile, suddenly one beep sound came and HDD light turned off. I performed safe remove process from top bar and after few seconds, it showed that " its safe to remove now" . I removed it and reattached it with mobile but no light no detection. Then again i removed safely and attached it in Sony laptop. It showed new usb driver installation. After completion of the same, no pop up came, no light on HDD, no drive shown in my computer . Then I went to printer & devices and found that it is showing the HDD there but when I went to its properties ; there is blank in VOLOUME TAB . In GENERAL TAB it is showing " device type : disk drive ; manufacturer : standard disk drive ; Location : on USB mass storage device ; device status : this device is working properly " . Another msg shows " windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been prepared for safe removal but it has not been removed from the computer (code 47) . To fix the problem, unplug this device from your computer and then plug in again ". I unmounted safely it by right clicking . Then reattached the same . Result is still same. Then removed. Restarted the laptop, attached again... same results... pls advise

What worked for me: I tapped it a bit harder 4 to 5 times: now works like a charm again. I guess the read/write arm got stuck in an inconvenient position.

[ginzou]

there is a light and my pc would detect it, but when i try formating the whole drive, its stuck for infinity...is there a way to make the hdd usable again? idc about the datas tho

[rcc]

Is it possible to replace the logic board itself in order the hard drive to function properly?

[knowledgebornsmith]

My drives spin but the led light is not coming on and when I’m on my Xbox it doesn’t connect but I hear it spinning

[cryptsFX]

Mine lights up but it makes very suspicious noises and doesn't show up. Likely corrupted data?

Hi there! I have 2 pcs of external hard disk with the same brand and same model. Suddenly one of it is not detected and i noticed the light is there when I insert it into the port but the light is not as bright as the other model that work just fine. I know this case is not similar with your video where the light is totally dead, but could this method fix it?

[iblamefps]

mine's Led is on, sometimes it flickers and sometimes it doesn't and I can feel something vibrating/spinning inside

still not working tho

[firki]

I bought the seagate onetouch, and after not even a month it stopped working. The led is off and doesn't turn on, but I can feel the HDD working when I pick it up, but my computer will not see it. What could be the problem?

[Shriharshism]

I'm also experiencing the same problem... I don't have the soldering tool and there's a lockdown too... what should I do!

[oceanfairy]

Hi, i liked your video, I'm gonna try to do the same with my dead toshiba hard drive. Can I ask you... how or where can I capacitate to work with this technical issues? I don't know exactly how to look for it, like "technical hard drive support school", lol. I would be greatful. Keep like this!!
