Question Used wrong PSU cables for HDD, 5V TVS Diode has Resistance in both directions, Small Fuses are Open Circuit

[Canuckle17]

HDD: Seagate ST1000DM010
PCB: 100774000 REV C

I accidentally used the wrong modular PSU cables to power my hard drive and am trying to save it.
How should I go about fixing the PCB?

Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

What do you mean?! You already found the faulty components so you now replace them.

Remove the 5V TVS diode and retest for shorts at the diode pad. As for the "fuses", they are probably just zero-ohm links. Depending on your soldering skill, you can replace each pair with a single smd 4A fuse, or you can bridge them with a blob of solder. The latter has risks, so you need to decide whether the risk is acceptable to you.

If you upload a photo of the PCB, I'll help you to locate any further damage. That will give us more confidence in the repair.

The best solution is to replace the drive, and recover the data from your backup.

Second level is to follow fzabkar into a possible ficx.

Here is the PCB:

I was going to remove the 5V TVS diode but saw it wasn't shorted. I got worried since I've seen these shorts in most other threads.
The marking on the diode is 6BE.

For the zero-ohms, could I swap them for zero-ohms from another Seagate hard drive? Different model, however. What are the risks of shorting the zero-ohms with solder?

Thanks for the help

As long as you check them and they are working, they are all the same, as long as it fits.
The risk of shorting them with solder is that they won't do their part of protecting the rest of the board, they will still make the board work, if nothing else is wrong, but you won't have protection.
But this is visible with the naked eye so you can just try again.
