Easiest way to recover data from dead SSD → bit.ly/3VBCa0D
Holy shit I was 100% sure this would be clickbait but those methods are actually very professional. Respect.
Thank you for the nice words.
I cannot understand where 307 dislikes are coming from this video is very informative and enriching! Thank you sir for sharing your professional knowledge with us. God bless you!
So nice of you
Great instruction. Thank you for the time and effort you took to make this video and share it with us. Greetings from Croatia.
Thank you.
Galing mo po sir. ganito lang if may problema ang ssd at hnd bibili agad ng bago pra hnd masayang kung may files na naka save, Thanks sir good job po 🙌🏻
Tama ka sir. Thank you po.
Great job! You have earned my utmost respect! This has to be one of the best videos I have ever seen. Thank you sir!
Wow, thanks!
Please remove the background music. It is really irritating while trying to concentrate on what you are saying and doing
Hi. Noted. On my newer videos, I no longer add background music if it is unnecessary.
Too loud 📢📢📢
Hi, sorry about that.
My SSD is dead too. I lost all my data. 5 months 2 days old
Your tools are so cool... wish I had the money to build a full lab with equipments like these and just play with electronics all day
Hi Nanof,
Thank you. I wish that you have them all too. You're right, playing and experimenting with electronics stuff is a fun way to go through the day.
The moonins seem to be on the rise, why is that? Also, you can get a seek thermal cam pretty cheap, a solder iron fairly cheap and a microscope cheap. Won't be as good as his but it would still do the job.
Cheap thermal cam? Really?
@@drummerdoingstuff5020 no.... no... the least expensive decent is $100
@@drummerdoingstuff5020 The thermal cam that I have is a bit pricey. There are other cheaper alternative but the thermal resolution and sensitivity isn't as good though.
Good demonstration BUT get rid of the annoying music. Makes it hard to concentrate on what you are saying.
Thank you. Noted on the music.
That's amazing that the capacitor did not need to be replaced due to being a bypass.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
I've been looking for this kind of help. Tnx a lot
A most exellent job sir,well done
Thanks sir.
Where are you located. I was diagnosed a defect on the controller board/ card....could you repair ....but I am sitting in Europe ....any way to contact you 😢
Hi, sorry, at the moment I don't accept repairs from overseas as there is high chance of losing your parcel along the way here in png. But actually, any mobile phone repair person in your area can have a look and try to repair the ssd. Thanks.
@@ReynaxisSolutions They made an offer to me which is above 1200 Dollars.....that's very high.....I think it will work much cheaper with your method....they want to extract everything from the hard disc by using some special method to unfix the storage parts....do you at least think this is the way.....I think they are just saying to charge much extra
1200 dollars is quite high. Another way of knowing if you can still recover your files from the SSD is to connect it to an external casing and read your external hard drive using an ubuntu OS installed on a pc or virtual pc. I use that technique a lot to extract files from a corrupted ssd that my windows pc cannot read.

@@ReynaxisSolutions One company tried to read through Linux ....according to them it was not accessible....they didn't see any hard drive....Sata no drive was also showing in Bios....do you have any contact in Germany through your network who could help...many thanks
Hi, sorry to hear about that. I don't know anyone from Germany who can help you fix your SSD. But you can try and send your SSD to NorthridgeFix. He is a US-based person but is a lot better than me when it comes to fixing stuff. You can find his YT channel on this link. He accepts repair from all over the world and
can even expedite the process. www.youtube.com/@NorthridgeFix
Good luck!
Thank you very much! Explaining what you're doing (like checking with multimeter if components are shortened) was so helpful to understand the whole process. I finished tech school, but sadly I was prepared only for installing stuff that is ready to install, not to reparing the electronics and thanks to people like you I can experiment with fixing things electronics that others consider as trash
Welcome and thank you for your supportive comment.

Hola era el capscitor la falla
Sir, yung 2 shorted na capacitor tinangal nyo lang po ba ng hindi pinapalitan?
Great job with excellent technical prowess. Thanks for the video recording to share such great knowledge and skills. I however, observed that you isolated a damaged capacitor, but you didn't record or show that you replaced the capacitor. My question is: do you need to replace all removed electronic components from a logic board?
Hi, thank you for the compliment. I did not have to replace the 2 caps that I removed because they were just filter caps. After recovering the important data from the ssd, i never used it for OS anymore. But I still use it for holding temporary files when I'm copying from one place to another.
The capacitors are there for a purpose they are there to stabilize the power lines to the chips. To not replace with new ones is very amateurish & I would not trust that SSD for anything. DO IT RIGHT or DON"T DO IT AT ALL.
@@Starlight-AG He even said so himself...up there. He only uses it for transitory files now.
Much thanks, I find your videos informative in a way even a newbie can understand all you saying.
Also I got a problem on a board that I'd like to show you and get your opinion on it. How can I contact you?
Thanks,
Hi, you can send me an email. computerglen586@gmail.com
I saw you remove the capacitors but did not see you replace them. If you did replace them, where do you purchase them? Thanks for the video. I have 2 nvme drives I'm going to try to get the data back from.
Hi, i did not replace them as there are other caps remaining that allows the ssd to function.
@@ReynaxisSolutions ooohhhh
The ideal scenario would be to remove the defective capacitors and replace them with good capacitors, but in this case the objective is only to recover the data from the SSD, and once recovered, one should not continue to use this SSD, as it is susceptible to failure again, due to missing capacitors removed.
Hi Correct, the goal is to recover important files from the SSD. It was never used again after the data recovery.
My ssd doesn’t show up at all in disk management. It also makes it so that file manager and disk management turn slow and fail. Does anyone have a similar experience?
I do please comment a solution if you find it.
My cheap verbatim ssd does exactly that, when plugged in using a usb3 to sata adapter, it shows up in explorer but the moment i try to access it everything freezes. And when its plugged directly to the motherboard the pc fails to boot at all.
@@kingi7607 same problem with my kingston A400
I do. The boot drive is 100% health, running. Sudden power outage and poof. Cannot boot. The bios and windows detected the drive, but froze when attempt to read/access the disk content 😢. For now I try to run the ssd without sata cable for day and see if "other youtube claimed" self-repair function work.
Yes I do
the way you lifted the capacitor with knife is wrong, you could have applied tip of the soldering iron quickly on both pads and could have easily picked that up with a tweezer.
I’m going to get myself a multimeter and try it out!! Got a ssd which died on me like two days ago. If the fix will work for an hour to copy it all, i would be really happy 😀😀😀
Hi, yes please try it. It's an enjoyable hobby for us men. 😊
I changed the format of my external ssd from mac redable to windows and I lost all my data.
Is there any thing I can do to bring it back
Hi, I'm not sure if you can still recover the data. But you can try and google any formatted SSD recovery software out there.
Excellent work!
Thank you.
why you in an elevator?
Hehehe
Brilliant video, question you removed 2 capacitor, video doesnt show it being replaced, so was it replaced? or did this work without having to replace them?
Hi. Thanks. I did not replace the capacitors.
@@ReynaxisSolutions did you just remove it and done?
@@E1qsaeo this is a common way of fixing logic boards, surprising but often these capacitors are either redundant, or not vital for the board to function. I would not trust my files with it though
The background music is annoying as f%#k !!!!
hello, do you need to replace those capacitor or you just leave the pads stack empty? if you replace them how can you tell the value of the capacitor if they are shorted to replace them (if you don't have another same ssd on hand or the schematic of the ssd)? thank you for your video and nicely done!
Hi. I did not replace the capacitor. I only need to copy the data from it.
@@ReynaxisSolutions but in order to rescue the data, you first had to fix? The capacitor or replace it?
@@cestvraimenthorrible3465 He just cleaned it up to fix the short. He put the same capacitor back in after cleaning
@@cestvraimenthorrible3465he doesn't need to fix the entire circuit in order to recover data
I didn't see you replace those capacitors. Did you? If not, why?
How do you know the difference between a capacitor and a resistor on those tiny components?
Hi, yes, I did not have to replace the faulty caps as long as I could quickly copy the important data. I threw the SSD away after recovering. You would know the difference between a SMD cap and SMD resistor.
@@ReynaxisSolutions
Oh, OK.
But would you ever want to use a fixed SSD that had bad caps? Or is that a bad idea?
I still don't know how to distinguish between those tiny caps and resisters. How do you know?
Hi, I can distinguish it maybe due to experience of inspecting logic boards. But usually, SMD resistors are colored black or dark brown and SMD capacitors are either grey, beige or brown.
Is there anything you can do if the drive doesn't even appear at all?
I'll have to inspect the logic board.
That's the problem I have, it's just not there, nothing shows at all.
And all that happened to it was a dodgy update, but now it's totally dead.
The red light on the ssd board comes on, but that's your lot.
Just dead as a Dodo!
Amazing stuff
Great video with detailed steps. Is this method applicable to an SSD that having controller driver issue?
Hi, maybe, I haven't tried yet. Thanks.
Sorry I just can't watch until end, it's hurting watching it :D
Hi, is it the background music?
100% working? You only show success on ONE very unique example (a dead cap). While impressive to see this brute force solution for such a failure: what do you suggest if the SSD (Windows system drive + 2nd partition) disappeared completely, blue-screened Windows (0% log, due to not accessible at all) and can not even be detected as a internal or external drive anymore? Your "capacitor fix" is NOT a solution, is there ANY?
I doubt it.
So much for 100%..
Hi, I agree.
Hello. I have a problem. My usb mouse was broken and i had error “power surge on usb port damage”. After couple of this errors my Dell lagged and blue death screen appeared. I reload my laptop because of instant 0% - and then after restart black screen appeared with “no bootable device” error.
With diagnostics on F5 i have problem “hard drive not installed”. Changing boot settings from Legacy to UEFI didn’t help.
Is my hard drive dead, or it can be revived? Will be all my data gone? Or it can particularly saved?
Hi, try plugging in your hard drive on an external harddisk enclosure and hope that it can still read it. If not, you may have to send it to a tech who can recover or fixed your hard disk.
well played interesting video, I have the same problem almost the same SanDisk SSD I tested the capacitors and they are all good however I noticed UART or I2C ports on the pcb is there a thing that the can we do with that?
Hi, I'm sorry, I'm not sure how yet.
Hello po, My Kingston SSD suddenly froze. After ko ma reboot yong PC ko, Naka "unallocated" na po siya sa Disk Manager. I checked the device property, It says "This device is working properly". The option that is available is to initiate "Allocate" the drive but it will ask me to reformat the drive for the system to recognize it. I'm open to get your service at any cost. Davao del sur area
Hi, usually, for the first step of SSD checking whether I need to repair it or if I can access it by any other means and extract the data, I would usually insert the ssd into an enclosure and plug it to USB port on a PC installed with a Linux OS. Usually, Ubuntu Linux would read the files in SSD even though Windows could not read it. Here's my video on how I do it. ruclips.net/video/b_V6ULI0ztg/видео.htmlsi=tDm1lo9PP8kMSmUG
Good video with silly background music. Unnecessary music on the background
Hi, noted with thanks. Sorry for that.
Why are the capacitors even there if it works just fine without them? I am guessing they are used as a store of energy if the laptop or computer is unable to deliver constant 5v at a high enough amperage, but what I do not understand is how this works when the circuit logically is now broken and no continuity.
I came here because I have an unreadable SSD and I had a slim hope that there might be a way to revive it - at least long enough for me to pull some data off of it.
I do not have a thermal camera at the moment but I could of course just do a quick test with the multi-meter to see if I can find some shorted capacitors :)
I think they are filter capacitors. They're just there to make the DC smoother or something. They sit in between the positive and the negative in a parallel line so even if you remove them, the lines are still there to deliver power.
when i connect my ssd via usb or inside the laptop the laptop disk manager and bios does not make and sound and don't detect it at all but the cable shows blue light and ssd shows green light but what ever i try it doesn't work please help,,,,
Maybe some of its components are damaged.
SIR you act like everyone can just go and buy the tools you have, theres no way a average person, unless your a Young kid that does not care about money, I thought you were going to show repair at home, By the Back ground noise you work in a Electronic,s Lab
Hi sir, i don't work in Electronics Lab. I work as an IT manager in a department store. You are right about the "money" part, but i'm sorry because we differ in how we view this arrangement in general. It's not that i don't care about the money, but it's about being committed to our goal. if we want to pursue our passion, investing on tools that can help us with it is a must.
Well done but please leave that piano man at home next time. That background music volume is super annoying.
Thanks. Sorry about the music.
Please switch off the music! You are hard to follow this way and therfore not helpful I switched to another.
Sorry about the music. Actually, when I made this video I was new to YT and didn't know exactly yet what viewers would consider annoying. But I was learning and in my newer videos, I don't put as much annoying background music.
Stop ✋ your music 🎼 can’t understand
Thanks for the feedback.
What’s that multi hard drive reader you got called?
It's called a Muti-Function HDD Docking. It's basically a dock that can read 2 SATA hard drives/SSD port and 1 IDE port for older types of hard disk. It's also capable of doing an offline cloning, meaning, it doesn't need to connect to a PC to clone a hard drive. ruclips.net/video/mEqqM0SeUew/видео.html
Great - a jazz channel with some electronics thrown in. Maybe not record it in a shopping mall though
it wasn't clear that the second time you found a short with the high temperature, you didn't cut it off and you said it was fixed.
I removed the capacitor on the second short, but I did not include it in the video as the video would take longer.
Have u soldered new capacitor or just removed the shorted one?
Hi, I just removed the shorted one.
Please cut out the incessant music. Need a rumble-free version!
Hi, sorry about the music.
Hi. Did you just removed capacitors or replaced? I didn't spotted putting those back? What values are those?
No i did not put the capacitor back.
Hi guys, my ssd when plugged in, shows the content but as soon as I access the folders, the window sops responding.

Hi Reynaxis,
I had a broken SSD in my laptop (water damage) so i bought a new one. When i just got the new one and i put it in it worked. But just now when i had installed a windows copy on a USB it said with the flash codes of the on and of button that the SSD is broken again. I handled it very carefully so i dont think i broke it. Do u have any idea what i can do?
Try repartion.

Did you just remove the capacitors? You didn’t replace them?
Hi, i did not have to replace them.
So what are the capacitors good for if they can be removed and the drive is working without replacing them?
Hi, from what I know, filter caps can be removed and the device will still work if there are more than one filter caps on the board.
Sir, are you from the Philippines? I think I need your help as this is also my problem :(
Hi, sorry no, I'm currently an OFW in Papua New Guinea.
thanks a lot !! i actually have two capacitor shortcircuit i remove it and resurect from dead
Welcome. Congrats.
@telefrio What model of the thermal camera you use for this checking?
Hi, it's Seek Thermal Cam Pro
I've got a drive that shorted (PC won't even boot with it connected, and it's got me depressed.
Sorry to hear about that.
hi may i ask you where did you buy your thermal camera?
Hi, I bought it from EBay. I asked my cousin who is living there to buy it for me and had it sent to Philippines.
I am a bit confused. So you removed the faulty capacitors without replacing them with new ones and it worked?? Or was replacement part of the vidoe cut off??
No, I did not have to replace the caps.
Thank you. Turn the music off. It just ruins everything.
Hi, thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts.
I have a question that might be stupid: you just remove the shorted capacitors? Like, you don't substitute them, just remove it?
Hi Manuela, yes I just removed the shorted capacitors. If you have a replacement, better to replace them.
@@ReynaxisSolutions wow, I didn't know that was possible. Does this work for any capacitor in the board?
Hi, can I bring my SSD to you? My SSD was damaged as per our IT. Thank you
You can buy a new one.
Hi I'm vijay I'm from Nellore I'm also repair SSD
My disk management freezes and stops responding when I connect my SSD. Sigh.
This is pretty useful. Will having the capacitors off the board cause problems? If so how do you determine the value and where can you get some more other than another SSD of the same type? Thanks for sharing. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Hi, removing it does not cause a problem as it may be a filter cap. However, it is only good for recovering the files and after that, I don't recommend to use the SSD again.
@@ReynaxisSolutions Thanks for the reply, I've been doing electronics for over 42 years but the PC side of it is still kind of new to me, I rarely get involved on the repairing portion. My son has a 1TB SanDisk that died so I was curious about that. Thanks again. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Hi. Thank you so much.
How much do you charge to do this? I need to send you same thing
Hi, unfortunately, I don't accept repairs going to Papua New Guinea from other country because of the risk of losing the package.
Really don't need the piano music.. 🙄
Hi, yes, sorry about that. Thanks for dropping by.
Repairing Dead SSD is not possible in 99.999999999% of the times.
Lucky me then. I was able to in the 1% chance. 😁
To hell with ESD eh?
Fixed? Did you replace the caps?
Hi, no.
Nice tools and all but you removed the caps and replaced with what? What are the values ? Where can we get the schematics ?
Thanks. I did not have to replace the caps.
I have a better solution. Don't buy Sandisk.
That too is a viable alternative option. :-)
amazing that they install expendable capacitors on the circuit board 🤔
so you dont need to replace capacitors?
Hi, for this case I did not have to replace because I only need the data.
What if all capacitors beeping is that mean all damaged
Then something in the logic bord is shorting the caps or maybe one of those caps.
lol the case is bigger then the motherboard

Hi, did you only remove the "shorted" capacitors or did you replace them? i have the exact same problem and would like to use your guidance to fix it. Thanks.
Hi, I did not have to replace the faulty capacitors because I only needed to copy the important data from it. I threw it away after recovering the data.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I will improve the audio on future videos.
In the time it took you to open the case, I went online a bought a 1Tb SSD for $50 shipped. Why waste time on a disposable product ? These are designed to need replacement every few months anyway, so more money can be made from consumer's.
Hi! Thanks for dropping by. I agree with you. However, there are times that we may need to do this like when we want to extract important data from the faulty SSD such as the case in my video.
@@ReynaxisSolutions Yeh, I thought about that AFTER I made the comment....I guess, if it's important data, anyone would do anything they can to save it. Apologies.
No worries. I appreciate your apology but you really didn't have to. Thanks so much. You have my respect.
Who told you that adding inane music to the vid would be a good idea? Have you ever been to a lecture where there is background music? There is a reason for that.
LOL! Sorry, no one told me about doing that. I got the initial habit from other RUclipsrs. I thought that was cool before. But yes, you are right, my new videos no longer have the background music when unnecessary.

Hi, I just removed them.
Why hot replace them? aren't they needed?@@ReynaxisSolutions
At that time, I don't have a replacement capacitor. If they are just filter caps, it's ok to remove the faulty ones, copy the data and then never use the ssd again.
@@ReynaxisSolutions thanks. What about if it’s resistor instead of capacitor ?
Clone two another SSD doesnt work?
I haven't tried.

Nice video Sir. The tools/equipment you used, the Multimeter and the microscope are provided by the company? Or those are your personal stuff?
One more thing, did you replace one component in the board? And solder it again. Or you just remove the one that is shortened?

Pity about the annoying music.
Hi, noted. In my newers videos, I no longer add a background music if it is unnecessary.
How do I do this with and external hard disk?
For external hard disk, it may be a different approach. Usually, a board of the same model can be swapped for testing.
Thanks. Music is irritating.

Hi, yes.
how can i get that hard drive connector?
Hi, from Ebay, Amazon, Alibaba or any other online shops.
Music.. disturbing
Hi, thank you for the feedback. Sorry for the music.
Congratulations, I have never watched such a cool video. Could you tell me what type of flux, you used to remove capacitors? Is it necessary to use it? What is the goal of using this flux.
I have to fix a Kingston 240 Go SSD who, do you think this method will work? Windows 10 check the disk in the computer management, and he says: Disk 2 unknown, 223.57 Go, Not initialized. However, it is impossible to initialize it, because the program says: bad CRC.
Thanks. Fred from France.
Hi, thanks. I'm using a liquid/cream flux in a syringe. The flux is used to distribute the heat evenly to easily remove the faulty capacitor.
is this a music video i can not hear him
Hi, sorry for the music. I was new to youtube when I created that video.
