Samsung M.2 SSD Drive Repair - Not Recognized

[@alessandromanzoli]

This is my drive I thank you so very much for the repair and the help!! Greetings from Italy!! THANK YOU!

[@RedRaccoon69]

it does not matter how long the video is to me. the knowledge you provide is enough for me! thank you as always for a great educational video!

[@daviswallace6351]

I need my wife to see this video....I only do what you do as a hobby. Relatives, a few friends, etc, and especially grandkids that can't keep a controller functioning for long. My wife keeps asking why I need all the spare phones, controller boards and a few laptop PCBs - "junk" is what she calls it. But when I need a part, I can usually find it in my junk pile. Great work, sir

[@Jedda73]

Still satisfying to watch even if it was only a short one. I think this video should serve as proof that if you dont mess with a broken device, Alex will most likely be able to repair it no problems. I love seeing big boss, your kids and any other family or friends who drop in, it makes these videos very wholesome and enjoyable.

[@chasefournier]

Using the RF Choke from the switch was genius! Fun fact, RF Chokes (filters) filter out Radio Frequencies so your device has a clean signal on that line (or lines). You see them in a circuit when there's sensitive data being passed from one device to another, or one Chip to another. Like in HDMI Video Circuits to USB Flash drives, and so much more!

[@trilexfix]

Is that similar to how a capacitor smooths out a voltage line

[@chasefournier]

@@trilexfix you are so right! Bingo !!

[@trilexfix]

@@chasefournier you know it baby, feel free to check out our channel

[@pentiumvsamd]

also if you don't have a filter , you can connect the lines and hope for the best, actually it works.

[@shoyrushoyru]

my goodness, the shot at 4:44, really brings into perspective how small these components are

[@jontait1095]

It dosent matter if the video is short it just shows how good you really are

[@TLM-Nathan]

I believe he said previously he has a queue of 1 month+

[@PedroBorgesNH]

In case you're trying to fix yourself and don't have a similar filter, use a jumper wire to connect one side with the other. Long term fix would be buy the filter, but to recover the data, it will work just fine.

[@ryansamarakoon8268]

I still cannot comprehend the scale you work in. Those components are incredibly tiny! Yet there's so much control here

[@TheKec789]

They make nice external M2 USB enclosures that would benefit in testing if a repair works. Then you wouldn't have to install it into a laptop to test. Love your site, channel, and knowledge!

[@redbaron6805]

I was going to make the same suggestion. A M.2 dock would be a perfect way to test these without having to install them in a laptop.

[@jwilko7998]

It may appear short in video, but I see the laptop was dismantled in order to fully test the device. Great job.

[@mariushmedias]

If you look at the PCB, it's 4 filters, one for each pci-e lane. My guess is those were the traces for first pci-e lane, so you probably could have moved a filter from the right most pci-e lane to the first and then the drive would have worked using only one or two pci-e lanes, and of course at potentially reduced speed, but nevertheless it probably would work.

[@thewanderingguy5436]

I'm just came home from school, and check your channel, and you just upload the video 5 Hours ago. Love your video✌🏻

[@tinman9341]

Short video or not, there’s always something to learn from your videos. Some repairs just involve attention to details.

[@stefanlechner]

Every day another great video. Nice. I love that, 5 mins of relax and watch your perfect work. Amazing job. Thank you, greets

[@0557630]

No program for short Video... Your work is perfect... That we love it... 👍

[@clivewright7778]

Bro u re a very hard working honest man.

[@daniellauck9565]

This is really small!!! I have a damaged M.2, and after watch your video taken a look at him....it´s impossible to see something on it using only eyes. Nice job!

[@yummyklown9226]

I like short and sweet videos. Especially at work when I'm on my break.

[@Zebra_Paw]

Even better than data recovery, the customer also gets to use the SSD reliably like new

[@rc.9764]

Better than factory

[@ApocDevTeam]

No doubt data recovery is biggest help to customer. You can always buy a new device but getting lost data back is generally impossible.

[@Zebra_Paw]

@@ApocDevTeam yes I know, but data + device recovery is even better than just data

[@Zebra_Paw]

@@rc.9764 as always

[@maku143]

If video is short then you should upload 2 short videos 😄 in a single day. We wanna see more... Awesome work 👌🏻👍🏻

[@amo-tesaodomingosdebenfica2747]

Thank you for the educational videos and all the time and effort put into them. Love the channel. Suggestion: when do we see videos of repairs of monitors/tvs?

[@bstaznkid4lyfe392]

Gotta save old electronic components in case if I ever need to repair something..

[@jasoncummings7052]

I very much appreciate your videos regardless of individual length. The knowledge is invaluable.

[@kyalanis]

No worries about short video, always a pleasure to watch and learn....your repair business adventure...keep it up insyallah you be blessed always.

[@PiMi91]

no need to apolozige Alex, isnt your fault if you are too good 🤣❤ is everytime a good start of the day seeing you and learn from your videos, greetings from Italy

[@virgildeklerk]

Great and easy fix if you know what your doing. Great video even if it's short

[@andrewboraine7322]

This might sound like a stupid question but would running a wire to bridge the gap of the filter also work?

[@chihofung6860]

Yes but not recommended. These filters are also fuses so if something has gone wrong with the supply, they sacrifice themselves (blew up) to prevent further damage.

[@henryyoung7184]

Seems the key to building this type of business is as much the stock of donor boards as it is the tooling and skill set, particularly for fast fix.

[@christosmakariou4574]

Good thing you knew/suspected about the filters of the Nintendo being similar or the same as the ones on the SSD!

[@Kaynos]

Curious to know what kind of delay (non expedited) someone can expect when they send you something to repair ?

[@temejumbo9794]

This must be your shortest video, you have a keen eye for details.

[@birsingh5388]

You are very experienced, that's why you just see and find out there has missing some component 👍

[@Stan-rs1ne]

This man can literally repair anything I swear.. like the military could just give him a broken get and say “oh here fix this”, and he’ll fix it in like an hour

[@SuperFredAZ]

What kind of filters are these? Where would you get them if you didn't have an old "switch" lying around?

[@giovanni4926]

Great fix. I noticed that sticker, "Planet First" and then next to it "Warranty void if removed" 😅

[@Klausrasiertsich]

This Quick repair is a compensation for all of the Hiroshima Repairs. Good Job and have a nice Day. Greetings from Germany

[@BashoStrikes]

Short but, as usual, sweet. Bravo!

[@sweetestson7]

Please extend greetings to Big Boss☺️

[@peacekeeper9]

After a successful repair the smile you have is awesome...i too in repair works and I know what does the smile worth...

[@gabest4]

Now this is a Nintendo SSD with a few Samsung components.

[@jameshadaway8621]

well done in recognising the part required 👍

[@rjgrlzn]

Short or long, we enjoy every video. ❤️

[@chensimo2433]

[@Abah_Vina]

Wowww !!! Sir , you can fix anything 👍👍👍

[@walterkovacs61]

When being to good is a problem Awesome as always

[@AlxTr]

better than factory!!! :D nice job ALX

[@Darren777Au]

I guess if you aren't used to blown components, you're not going to see it. Was clear as day.

[@Electricworld-1]

Thank very much for the lesson's good work. looking forward to the next one. and please send my respect to the BIG BOSS.

[@a.j.haverkamp4023]

Most important lesson today: backup important data!

[@ruudb72]

Nice! Short but informative. Thanks! 🙂

[@yanikdn]

Ty for showing your fixes learned alot from you !

[@ronostrenski8359]

Thanks. Love short informative videos. Learn a little bit every day. 👍

[@Manche-De-Pelle]

I got a ssd between my hands from my niece defective laptop and there something that I don't understand. There's 3 pin on one section and 2 in the back of the same section. Every other ssd that I saw online got all the pins on the same side. I've bought an enclosure for nvme pcie m.2 ssd but it couldn't find the drive, probably because of the back pins ... Is it normal that the ssd got that strange pins configuration??? Thanks for your help

[@fuzzs8970]

Shorter the better. Nice fix

[@BlackGymkhana]

Those tweezers are awesome...

[@kobs9636]

just curious. can we just solder a jumper wires to those missing filters? will it work?

[@Gianluxx]

Yes. But a filter is used also as a fuse so you loose that safety

[@knguyen2719]

apprently it happens to alot to M.2 SSD sudden death unrecogniable, if one does not have microscope and no hot iron tool what to do to rescue the drive?

[@RealNovgorod]

You put it into another laptop as a boot drive _after_ you've backed up the image, right?

[@aspirohk3558]

I really do shack alooopt when handling smd any tips on the same?

[@petartomic9783]

Is that drive now good for daily basis or do you tell customer to get out all data and buy u new one ?

[@theking-el4gf]

Expected this one to be without a short 😀😀😀.

[@richardbell6045]

Doesn't matter how long you fix it at least you got it fixed,. Awesome work Alex the Greatest. LoL Big Boss the greatest too and who's does work like this jobs y'all awesome greatest,. KZbinr fans. Y'all greatest too. Lol. god bless all. Enjoy your video short show.. thank

[@kevinhoward9593]

my drive has the same scenario (kind of). i cant get the drive to read anywhere. i took it to Geek Squad and even they couldn't read it. it was working fine on my old computer, but now I cant read it anywhere.

[@imranclickable]

If external SSD disconnected when transfer file, what is the issue from the SSD?

[@Trucam2020]

As usual, excellent video. Thanks

[@Sarthak159]

I bought new pc setup and after 1 month my 500gb crucial p3 nvme m.2 stopped working. I was playing valorant suddenly black screen appears then pc re-start and shows bios page. I saw in bios > storage > pci ssd - ( blank ) the size is not showing its blank there. In the name section only shows- pcie 3 ssd (not crucial) What is the reason?? I also tried in another port didn't worked also the nvme got super hot in 30 seconds like i am using it from hours. Also i tried to install new window it shows only 1mb size i dont know what's that

[@saeedsamikhan5691]

sir alex always uses solder wire and not the ppd pasts...i wounder why?

great video mate just one question , did u graduate from University of Technology ? i think I know u

[@mulatiechekol4513]

Even though very short time video but the information is big enough and thanks!

How do you get so lucky with easy fixes like this? all my m.2 drives are controller failure.

[@niko6867]

Can you Make video where you introduce your tools so IS easyer know what to buy 👍😃

[@fajar79]

if you play with a lot of device, you can remember what kind of components looks like even though it is a different device :)

How you can find out the 100% same filter?

amazing eyes bog job 👍👌🏻😊

[@shubham.nikam_]

you are amazing man love your work

[@jarinaumanen8447]

Would it have worked if just pulled straight wires?

[@igrewold]

A filter does a certain function depending on the use & case : some filters block dc while allowing ac (this case it's a capacitor) some block frequency an upper frequency, a lower one, a midrange (RC filters) some block ac while allowing dc to know more , do a web search on: filter capacitor

[@leooktavian4070]

What kind of liquid that u used as finishing sir ?

[@VISHALJAIN3977]

That is Isopropyl alcohol.

[@sefyuyussuf1981]

Well done 👍 one more time, " the job is done". This time there is no UV light to blow our eyes 😅😅😅 but you broke the warranty seal. Just for fun master

Sir my L412 ThinkPad is having issue of UUID and serial number invalid error , I purchased second hand MBD da0gc9mb8d0 rev d schematic, I cannot even load by pressing F12 for bootable pendrive , I only get prompt to choose temporary device but then it's redirects to bios page. It's just showing Press f1 for bios and then it loops and cannot boot to any medium and goes to bios page. I swapped the bios chip from fried board but still no success... Same issue. I just want to write the serial and UUID to EEPROM chip but the pinout differs from spi flash chip. U22 > holds the bios password U37 > holds the bios U.. I > PCH Pls guide me to this issue.
