This real Seagate hard drive recovery case study shows how our engineers at Payam Data Recovery fixed a 2.5″ Seagate HDD that wouldn’t power on due to PCB failure. Watch the full video to see our cleanroom and data recovery workflow in action.
Seagate Hard Drive Recovery – How We Fixed PCB Failure
Our engineers diagnosed a non-spinning Seagate 2.5″ SATA drive. Two burned PCB components were stopping power delivery. This case study details the process from diagnosis to full data recovery without damaging heads or platters.
PCB Swap and ROM Chip Transfer
We sourced a matching donor PCB, removed the ROM chip from the original board, and soldered it onto the replacement. Once fitted, the drive powered up normally and allowed a full clone using professional tools.
