How to fix a hard drive that is not spinning up to recover data

[@Oladojabankole]

I do Data Recovery here in Nigeria, but Combining it with content creation is genius.. Thank you for all you do.

[@hddrecoveryservices]

thank you my dude!

[@a13Banger]

Such a great video. THANK YOU for taking a little extra time with the multimeter/probe/components explanations. This is the part I am still learning. :)

[@hddrecoveryservices]

Glad it was helpful!

[@hariranormal5584]

Can you post rough numbers on the count of the brands of drives you get?

[@hddrecoveryservices]

Mostly it’s 4TB WD passports and 2TB seagates 2.5”

[@roysigurdkarlsbakk3842]

What is that last connector (right-most on the first picture) you have connected there?

[@RevelQT]

Cables are : Power (multi-coloured), Data ( solid Red) and (I think) PC-3000 i/f on the right.

[@l3p3]

Its some serial interface for debugging firmware or run special commands.

[@hddrecoveryservices]

Terminal

[@saringaclose]

THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING THE MULTI METER MORE LIKE THIS PLEASE

[@hddrecoveryservices]

You are welcome

[@AppLucifer2]

I'm still keeping my hope up. Thank you.

[@ronlevin2339]

[@hddrecoveryservices]

yes, feel free to request services here: www.hddrecovery.ca/contact-us

[@ACOnetwork]

I have 2 disks WD Green 500GB, on one is some data I lost ages ago, yeah will try to find the issue. Thanks for the video

[@hddrecoveryservices]

No problem 👍

For every DRD DSC followed by perfect ID followed by sector 0 access followed by final_lba access = excitement and thankfulness.....every damn case...the feeling ! the thrill!...a DR professional feels it every time...case after case... day after day year after year...for a lifetime... Its refreshing and a super dopamine high.

[@hddrecoveryservices]

Haha. So true

[@dtiydr]

So THAT is what a harddrive is doing at start up. And so THAT is what those pins could be used for, always wondered what those was used for.

[@niels5207]

Thank you for the video's great to watch🎉 what microscope camera are you using? Your list is last updated in 2020

[@hddrecoveryservices]

we gotta get that fixed, and do a separate video on what I actually still use from 2020 :)

[@niels5207]

Thank you 🎉

[@l3p3]

And in that case, why do you image it and not just replace the diode and send it back?

[@hddrecoveryservices]

Always image the drive. Drive can get lost or damaged in the shipment and if we don’t have the image then client will not be happy

[@l3p3]

@@hddrecoveryservices Right. So image it and send back the repaired HDD then, keeping the image as a backup until client doesn't need it anymore?

[@helifynoe9930]

I had a drive in which the boosted current to the motor for fast startup was not working, and so it took some time for the drive to pick up speed. Due to the delay, the drive was ignored, and thus Windows boot up failed. I took the drive out of the computer casing, and while electrically still hooked up, I held the drive in my hand and gave it a quick spin to get the disc spinning. That reduced the time taken to reach the proper rpm, and thus Windows booted up, and then I copied the contents to a working drive.

[@tivitabung9772]

Sir how price you bough pc3000 or data recovery tools kit ? Thank regards im from indoensia

[@NullaNulla]

So what would have burned out the protection diode? Not something you'd normally expect to see I'd have thought?

[@hddrecoveryservices]

Plugging it into a wrong power source

[@NullaNulla]

​@@hddrecoveryservices oh .. nuked the PSU in the computer and all the components .. ouch.

[@herauthon]

That green connector - how many wires are being used ?

[@hddrecoveryservices]

TX and RX

[@Joke90]

Why dont you get thiner multimeter probes?

[@hddrecoveryservices]

Good call

[@andrewenglish3810]

Which software application do you use?

[@ZadaTec]

he uses pc3000

[@hddrecoveryservices]

PC3000 with data extractor as mentioned by @ZadaTec

[@mike80808]

I have this same drive and the same symptoms. Worked in a system, swapped it out for an SSD, amd then the Seagate 4TB HDD would not spin up.

[@hddrecoveryservices]

I bet its either a diode, or diode and fuse combo. Fuse if open needs to be closed, diode however, if closed needs to be opened

[@garajulluivalivalisgarage489]

really?

[@miskamisu7908]

Nice and informative video, thank you. Is it possible just remove hard drivers disk and put it in working hard drive? It feels easier way if disk itself is fine

[@hddrecoveryservices]

swapping disks into another drive is the last thing you want to do... actually, rewind that. Its the thing you do not want to do ever as a user. NEVER OPEN THE DRIVE AND EXPOSE DISKS IF YOUR DATA IS IMPORTANT. This is only for professionals with tools but most importantly experience and skills

[@mahmoudsadek6437]

I have a question, i have the same hdd but sometimes spinning and alot fo times not on my laptop i chech the BCP board and it's ok i'm confused ?! I'm writing this comment and it's working but i'm sure if i powerd of my laptop and returned it will not work !

[@threestars9788]

Hey! had a problem earlier as i turned my pc off while it was writing data as a result disk partition was showing raw and corrupted and I fixed it using "chkdsk" in cmd prompt and then data is again readable and is fine like nothing happened , should i be worried if my data will get corrupted again ? or should be rest assured that my data is safe .

[@hddrecoveryservices]

something was getting updated in the file system and got interrupted. chkdsk should fix it, but its best to keep a backup on a regular

[@candrmix]

Is it really possible to recover data from M.2 ??

[@hddrecoveryservices]

Yes, there is a bunch of videos about m.2 on this channel

[@rosariodagosto6484]

i think your very clever fixing q old hdd what happened to my request i sent you last week ??

[@hddrecoveryservices]

you sent in a request? not sure I see it

[@awilliams1701]

Love these. I wish that all I was getting :)
