finally, I'm proud to say the ambiguity of this situation has been lifted:) thanks fzabkar and his extremely helpful pictures of fuse and diode placement, my tvs diodes were fine but my 5-volt fuse was blown. purchased a soldering kit and put a bead across where I removed the fuse and my hhd...

Lessons have been learned! Going to take my data storage much more seriously now, and try to spread the word that psu cables are not standardized.

Your a life saver!!!!!! getting 1.3 ohms from my 12 volt fuse and no reading from my 5 volt fuse! So I will put some thing there to bridge it and can I just run the pcb without eather of the TBS diodes to transfer the data.

now that they are off the board, both of those diodes give me no reading in ohms... making me think eather they were actually fuzes that are blown, or i riped off something that wasnt a tvs diode?

Hopefully I didnt rip off the wrong ones😂

https://postimg.cc/XB0LqVRc As you can see I have ripped both the tvs diodes off. Still the drive dose not spin up

do i have fuzes?

thank you fzabkar for all your posts in litteraly every forum about hard drive pcbs. due to my tvs diods not being shorted. im guessing another part of my pcb has clocked out. ive seen in another post you say wd over volt protection is a joke. big sad for me. because i think it has failed me...

well, now I've looked into it more, and I don't think any of my TVS diodes are shorted... so that's weird. kinda scary because if none of them shorted, then the power must've gone straight into the pcb. but I am getting readings off them, for example, I get no reading one way, (1 .) and the...

im not getting a short from the 12 volt i think. so im guessing im shorted on the 5 volt?

now that ive gotten a multi meater to the thing, should i just remove both 5v and 12v tvs diodes?

would i go about removing both tvs diodes?

now I'm looking for help with the next step, I've seen on another post that a fuze was broken, and after the fuze was connected the drive worked. my drive is a WD hard drive WD20EZAZ and I haven't taken it apart yet, I've looked at the PCB online and don't know if there is any fuze. thanks for...

Welllllllll, I've done the same thing😭😭😭 one ssd survived but I had 2 x 1 tb ssd and 1 2tb hhd wb blue I'm guessing I'm gunna have to look at these fuses
