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.
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!
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.
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.
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?
@@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
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.
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. ruclips.net/video/b_V6ULI0ztg/видео.htmlsi=8-OoVaCim1Hili_1

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.
You really are a professional a very well epxlained and detailed video that actually shows how to fix the thing but the music was quite annoying and loud
@@ReynaxisSolutions np sir thank to you too , btw i have an adata su650 which seems to have the same problem but unlike the capacitor in the video the source of excessive temperature seems to be coming from a chip with the realtek logo on it will it work if i had to remove that chip or does it need a replacement
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
I want to replace a capacitor that is shorted on my SSD drive but I don't know which replacement I have to buy I see so many different kinds (NF,UF, PF + numbers). The only visual reference that I have (on my case) is a capacitor L4 but I can't find it as so.
I think any SMD filter capacitor would do. Usually, if it's a filter capacitor, it's ok to not to replace it as long as the data is recovered from the ssd. Then once data is recovered, I would not use the ssd again.
@@ReynaxisSolutions I only want the data back. At the moment I can load the disk with a external disk reader, but it is two slow to load the files and at a moment it just stops responding. I'm new to this, so I don't know if the setting I used on mt multimeter are correct, I got a reading of 002 on the L4 cap and a short, also I get a red light when the disc is connected , I don't know if that means anything. In any case once I manage to find the L4 I'll use your instruction to replace it. Thank you.
You can try and remove the shorted caps and see if that solves your problem. But if not, you'll have to solder the caps back to the board. But be careful though as the heat from the soldering gun or from the hot air could damage the other component.
Thank you for the helpful video! I have a question though, when the shortened component is removed, does that mean that some of the data from the SSD is gone.. I have the same issue, my computer doesn’t see the SSD and I really don’t want to lose all my data.. is t possible to save most of it?
Hi, your data is held in the NAND chip so removing faulty capacitors isn't going to affect your data. But if some chips are faulty or the NAND itself, then your data may be lost.
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??
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
very nice, what thermal camera has been used in this video ? I have the same SSD disk and it does not appear in win manager or in the BIOS so I assume there may be some similar burn outs and I would like to fix it just to get out the data from this SSD. Thanks in advance!
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?
Hello and thank you for your informative videos. I have a new SanDisk SSD 240 that I had encrypted using BitLocker, and when I tried to decrypt it, it took a long time and I had to restart the computer. Now it is not possible to delete the partition or format using different software, and Diskpart , etc., and it gives an I/O error when formatting or deleting partition. It is necessary to explain that the ability to read and identify the drive is active and does not have bad sectors. Is it possible to format and reuse it? Maybe or should I throw away the hard drive?Tnx
Hi, I have never tried interrupting the process of decrypting BitLocker's encryption. You may try and decrypt it again. But usually, if the decryption fails, we can still format it. We've tested that hypothesis before by encrypting a flash drive and formatting it. It cleared the data and we can reuse the flash drive. But in your case, I'm not sure what went wrong with it. I guess you'll have to discard the SSD.
@@ReynaxisSolutions Thank you for the answer, but I have to say that I am not able to unlock the drive with the password or recovery word and I only recovered my data using software. Now it is not possible to delete the partition or the SSD format and I get this error message: "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device"
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?
Great video, but I want to know: How do you distinguish between a surface mount capacitor and another component like a diode or resistor on the SSD board? Before throwing out my SSD I might try this to recover the data on it.
Hi, thank you. SMD capacitors are easily distinguishable because their body in between two connectors is white or yellowish and looks plasticky. It usually doesn't have a number written on the body. Resistors are mostly black in color and has a number written on the body. Most of the diode can be identified by its connectors which are smaller than its body. Sometimes, coils can look like a capacitor and the most prominent difference between a capacitor and a coil is that the coil tend to have rough connectors.
Hi, excellent video ! One of my relatives has a SSD having same symptoms. Any recommendations for cheap but ok pcb thermal cam, microscope and logic board holder?
Thank you. There is a cheaper version from Flir for thermal cam but I won't recommend buying it due to its low resolution. If you can get the Seek Thermal Pro, please get it, it's worth the price.
@@d4m000n No worries. I like the Relife trinocular microscope. I have one that I use for repairing watches. For soldering station, I use the Yihua 952D+ which is not that expensive but gets the job done.
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 😀😀😀
I some what have the same problem. I have 3 larger size square caps not the small rectangler ones. The three show continuity which im guessing is bad. Do you know what i could replace them with?
You could try and remove them one by one and see if the ssd will work. If all those 3 caps removed and ssd still didn't work, return them and find a similar cap.
Man that tough one bro by ssd my ssd is fine good health it 2 year old it replacement old hard drive now it ssd is better 👌 your video is easy fixed ssd problem thank
Hi, I did not replace the caps. This was only good until we copy the data from it. However, up to now since the time I repaired it, it is still working.
Hi I have a question. I have a laptop that’s still under warranty but has died. I have removed the SSD from it and backed it up to an external hard drive but now I need to send the laptop to the manufacture to be repaired with the SSD reinstalled into the laptop but before I reinstall it, I would like to know how I can wipe it so none of my data is on it, even though my laptop is dead, and will not turn on? Thanks for any help you can provide😊
Hi! The best way is to use a Hiren's Boot CD Disk Wipe to wipe clean that SSD. But if you don't have that, you can just use the Window's Disk Management to format and repartition your hard disk. Repartition means break the SSD into 2 or 3 parts and format each part so they won't bother looking up anything in there. You can do all of that in Windows Disk Management.
@@ReynaxisSolutions Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate your advice, and I will definitely make an attempt at this with the help of your instruction. Lol wish me luck. Thanks again I’ll let you know how it goes.😉🤞🏻☺
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!

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.
Hi there, if we decide to replace the capacitor, what things we need to concern to? can we replace the capacitors only based on the same size? Ur answer will be much helpfully for me, thank you
Once prying it open to get the pc board out and finding what’s overheating, do you think using freeze spray in the components would work to copy the files off of it one last time? I’m having trouble understanding how it still works by taking caps out breaking the circuit unless they’re going to ground only.
Freeze spray will work the same like the thermal cam. The heated component will just evaporate the freeze spray thereby revealing which component is shorted. I'm not sure if it can help with letting you copy the data for one last time.
@@HDHD-yv9np Hi. If you have a replacement capacitor, I suggest that you replace it. But no, it did not break the circuit and the ssd drive works well.

Salve come prima cosa volevo farti i complimenti per il tuo canale e anche per come spieghi molto chiaro e comprensibile. Volevo chiederti se potevi aiutarmi prima che io rinunci a questa cosa Ho comprato un ssd m2 da 500gb, la mia sheda madre saberthot p67 non ha il posto dedicato, ho preso un adattatore PCI expres 16x ho installato tutto messo in funzione tutto ok, funziona ho clonato in mio ssd sata con il sistema operativo windovs 10 seguendo le tue indicazioni per sostituirlo con il nuovo ssd m2 ma aimè la bios non lo vede, e quindi non posso cambiare l'avvio del disco,la bios l'ho aggiornata lo scorso anno, non so se si deve abilitare o modificare quache cosa. Ti ringrazio.🤞
Ciao! Grazie mille per i complimenti, sono felice che trovi utili i miei contenuti. 😊 Per il tuo problema con l’SSD M.2 e la scheda madre Saberthooth P67, ecco alcuni passaggi che puoi provare: Verifica compatibilità del BIOS: Anche se hai aggiornato il BIOS, potrebbe essere necessario verificare che supporti il boot da dispositivi M.2 collegati tramite un adattatore PCIe. Non tutte le schede madri P67 supportano questa funzione nativamente. Cerca nel manuale della scheda madre o sul sito ufficiale di Asus. Imposta il BIOS per il boot UEFI (se supportato): Alcuni adattatori PCIe e SSD M.2 richiedono che il BIOS sia impostato su modalità UEFI anziché Legacy. Entra nel BIOS e controlla nelle impostazioni avanzate se puoi abilitare UEFI come modalità di avvio. Verifica la priorità dei dispositivi di avvio: Anche se l’SSD non viene riconosciuto nella sezione "boot device", prova a cercarlo nelle impostazioni di gestione PCIe o nella lista dei dispositivi collegati. Se appare nella lista dei dispositivi, prova a impostarlo come "Primary Boot Device". Problema con il clone del sistema operativo: A volte il clone di un disco SATA su un M.2 potrebbe non trasferire correttamente le informazioni di boot. Puoi provare a ricreare il record di avvio usando uno strumento come il disco di ripristino di Windows. Avvia da un’unità USB o DVD con Windows 10, vai su "Ripara il computer" > "Risoluzione dei problemi" > "Prompt dei comandi" e digita: bash Copy code bootrec /fixmbr bootrec /fixboot bootrec /scanos bootrec /rebuildbcd Controlla l'adattatore PCIe: Assicurati che l’adattatore PCIe sia collegato correttamente allo slot PCIe x16. Alcuni slot PCIe secondari potrebbero non funzionare altrettanto bene. Prova a usare lo slot principale (quello più vicino alla CPU). Test SSD su un altro sistema: Se possibile, collega l’SSD M.2 con lo stesso adattatore a un altro PC per verificare che il disco sia funzionante e che il problema non dipenda dall’hardware. Se nonostante questi tentativi il BIOS non vede ancora l’SSD, potrebbe essere una limitazione della scheda madre. In tal caso, potresti considerare di usare il nuovo SSD come unità di archiviazione secondaria anziché come disco di avvio.
I had a bad SATA cable (maybe shortcut), so my SSD died... So I replaced the SATA cable, but my Macbook can not find the SSD. You think, in my case the same procedure like in this video will work?
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?
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.
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.
Hi, yes, correct. Shorted caps will appear hot in thermal cameras. Here's the link for Seek Thermal CompactPro. www.amazon.com/Seek-LQ-AAA-Compactpro-iOS/dp/B07GX8XTG5/ref=sr_1_1?crid=SNVUK3CKOYLA&keywords=seek%2Bthermal%2Bcompact%2Bpro&qid=1650581821&sprefix=seek%2Bthermal%2Caps%2C514&sr=8-1&th=1
Let me get this straight. Is it just to remove the shorted components and leave without replacing? Aren't they there for a reason and the board might just not turn on without them?
I think that the shorted caps that I removed are filter caps, so removing them will still make the board work which is good enough to give me time to recover the data that I need.
After trying to get the ssd to read i noticed there were quite a few components that were hot. But after removing all 22 of them when i plugged it back in to the pc it got so hot it shot a spark out of it then the pc flashed a blue screen and now it wont power on at all.. i am going to try flipping the little red switch on the back of the computer.. says 220 and 110, i am going to move it to the 110 side and see if that helps..
It didnt help, it created more hot sparks.. but this time my light bulbs in my home went out. I think i uploaded a virus to my house now because nothing is working.. i think the virus is in my fuse panel, maybe if i try the ssd in there. The fuse is all black, will try the ssd card there and see if my pc boots..
Well that made a lot of hot sparks but the lights are back on,. I have to go now, the fire department is telling me i need to leave because somebody set fire to my walls. People are cruel..

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.

Hi, if it is a faulty resistor or faulty diode, you must replace. In my case, there's so many caps in the logic board that removing some doesn't have to be replaced. If you have a replacement capacitor, then replacing it is a must.

Hi Correct, the goal is to recover important files from the SSD. It was never used again after the data recovery.
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!
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
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.
Thank you for the informative video. Just a question, did you replace the capacitors or just remove them?
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 ?
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.

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.
@@ReynaxisSolutions Thanks, I will give it a try, because I was going to throw the ssd away anyway. Thanks for the help, I will try your solution.
You're welcome. Try to remove one faulty caps at a time. Remove up to 3 if necessary.
You really are a professional a very well epxlained and detailed video that actually shows how to fix the thing but the music was quite annoying and loud
Hi, thank you so much for the compliment and an honest feedback. I will definitely stay away from putting in too much music background in the future.
@@ReynaxisSolutions np sir thank to you too , btw i have an adata su650 which seems to have the same problem but unlike the capacitor in the video the source of excessive temperature seems to be coming from a chip with the realtek logo on it will it work if i had to remove that chip or does it need a replacement
That chip with Realtek logo is the controller on board. Try to measure the components around the chip and see if they are shorted or open.

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.
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.
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
I want to replace a capacitor that is shorted on my SSD drive but I don't know which replacement I have to buy I see so many different kinds (NF,UF, PF + numbers). The only visual reference that I have (on my case) is a capacitor L4 but I can't find it as so.
I think any SMD filter capacitor would do. Usually, if it's a filter capacitor, it's ok to not to replace it as long as the data is recovered from the ssd. Then once data is recovered, I would not use the ssd again.
@@ReynaxisSolutions I only want the data back. At the moment I can load the disk with a external disk reader, but it is two slow to load the files and at a moment it just stops responding. I'm new to this, so I don't know if the setting I used on mt multimeter are correct, I got a reading of 002 on the L4 cap and a short, also I get a red light when the disc is connected , I don't know if that means anything. In any case once I manage to find the L4 I'll use your instruction to replace it. Thank you.
You can try and remove the shorted caps and see if that solves your problem. But if not, you'll have to solder the caps back to the board. But be careful though as the heat from the soldering gun or from the hot air could damage the other component.
@@ReynaxisSolutions Ok. thank you very much. I will try.
Thank you for the helpful video! I have a question though, when the shortened component is removed, does that mean that some of the data from the SSD is gone.. I have the same issue, my computer doesn’t see the SSD and I really don’t want to lose all my data.. is t possible to save most of it?
Hi, your data is held in the NAND chip so removing faulty capacitors isn't going to affect your data. But if some chips are faulty or the NAND itself, then your data may be lost.
You remove the capacitor then replace new one? I don't seen to be replaced? Thankyou for reply..
Hi Boomboom Dynamight, yes, the capacitor did not have to be replaced. But I would suggest to put a replacement capacitor if we could find one.
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.
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.

Hi. Thank you so much.
very nice, what thermal camera has been used in this video ? I have the same SSD disk and it does not appear in win manager or in the BIOS so I assume there may be some similar burn outs and I would like to fix it just to get out the data from this SSD. Thanks in advance!
Hi Amel,
Thanks for watching. I used the Seek Thermal Pro. It's a small camera dongle that you can insert to the phone.
@@ReynaxisSolutions you´re very welcome! thank you for the infos man! will go and get one right ahead. Thanks a lot again!
Hi, I have the same problem, does the thermal camera fix It?
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.
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.
Hello and thank you for your informative videos. I have a new SanDisk SSD 240 that I had encrypted using BitLocker, and when I tried to decrypt it, it took a long time and I had to restart the computer. Now it is not possible to delete the partition or format using different software, and Diskpart , etc., and it gives an I/O error when formatting or deleting partition. It is necessary to explain that the ability to read and identify the drive is active and does not have bad sectors. Is it possible to format and reuse it? Maybe or should I throw away the hard drive?Tnx
Hi, I have never tried interrupting the process of decrypting BitLocker's encryption. You may try and decrypt it again. But usually, if the decryption fails, we can still format it. We've tested that hypothesis before by encrypting a flash drive and formatting it. It cleared the data and we can reuse the flash drive. But in your case, I'm not sure what went wrong with it. I guess you'll have to discard the SSD.
@@ReynaxisSolutions Thank you for the answer, but I have to say that I am not able to unlock the drive with the password or recovery word and I only recovered my data using software. Now it is not possible to delete the partition or the SSD format and I get this error message: "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device"
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.
Great video, but I want to know: How do you distinguish between a surface mount capacitor and another component like a diode or resistor on the SSD board? Before throwing out my SSD I might try this to recover the data on it.
Hi, thank you. SMD capacitors are easily distinguishable because their body in between two connectors is white or yellowish and looks plasticky. It usually doesn't have a number written on the body. Resistors are mostly black in color and has a number written on the body. Most of the diode can be identified by its connectors which are smaller than its body. Sometimes, coils can look like a capacitor and the most prominent difference between a capacitor and a coil is that the coil tend to have rough connectors.
Hi, excellent video ! One of my relatives has a SSD having same symptoms. Any recommendations for cheap but ok pcb thermal cam, microscope and logic board holder?
Thank you. There is a cheaper version from Flir for thermal cam but I won't recommend buying it due to its low resolution. If you can get the Seek Thermal Pro, please get it, it's worth the price.
@@ReynaxisSolutions Thanks for this advice, any tips for microscope, holder and a good /cheap hot air soldering station?
@@d4m000n No worries. I like the Relife trinocular microscope. I have one that I use for repairing watches. For soldering station, I use the Yihua 952D+ which is not that expensive but gets the job done.
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?
Cab you just solder another fuse onto of the the blown contacts one? As a temporary fix to take data off?
Yes we can if we have a replacement cap.
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. 😊
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 some what have the same problem. I have 3 larger size square caps not the small rectangler ones. The three show continuity which im guessing is bad. Do you know what i could replace them with?
You could try and remove them one by one and see if the ssd will work. If all those 3 caps removed and ssd still didn't work, return them and find a similar cap.
Man that tough one bro by ssd my ssd is fine good health it 2 year old it replacement old hard drive now it ssd is better 👌 your video is easy fixed ssd problem thank
Thanks bro.
Hi may i ask do you replace the capacitor or just remove it?
So if your remove the capacitor is that ok to use in the long run?
Hi, I did not replace the caps. This was only good until we copy the data from it. However, up to now since the time I repaired it, it is still working.
Have u soldered new capacitor or just removed the shorted one?
Hi, I just removed the shorted one.
Hi I have a question. I have a laptop that’s still under warranty but has died. I have removed the SSD from it and backed it up to an external hard drive but now I need to send the laptop to the manufacture to be repaired with the SSD reinstalled into the laptop but before I reinstall it, I would like to know how I can wipe it so none of my data is on it, even though my laptop is dead, and will not turn on? Thanks for any help you can provide😊
Hi! The best way is to use a Hiren's Boot CD Disk Wipe to wipe clean that SSD. But if you don't have that, you can just use the Window's Disk Management to format and repartition your hard disk. Repartition means break the SSD into 2 or 3 parts and format each part so they won't bother looking up anything in there. You can do all of that in Windows Disk Management.
@@ReynaxisSolutions Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate your advice, and I will definitely make an attempt at this with the help of your instruction. Lol wish me luck. Thanks again I’ll let you know how it goes.😉🤞🏻☺

That was amaazing. but did you replace the capacitor with another one or just took that out.
Hi, no, I did not replace the caps.
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.

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.
True technician fr.. also nice set of equipment I'm jealous 😂
Thank you.
Hi there, if we decide to replace the capacitor, what things we need to concern to? can we replace the capacitors only based on the same size? Ur answer will be much helpfully for me, thank you
Yes, if you don't know the value of the original capacitor, then the best way is to replace it with the most similar cap in size.
Once prying it open to get the pc board out and finding what’s overheating, do you think using freeze spray in the components would work to copy the files off of it one last time? I’m having trouble understanding how it still works by taking caps out breaking the circuit unless they’re going to ground only.
Freeze spray will work the same like the thermal cam. The heated component will just evaporate the freeze spray thereby revealing which component is shorted. I'm not sure if it can help with letting you copy the data for one last time.
@@ReynaxisSolutions Could you please reply to his second question about removing these caps and not replacing them? that does not break the circuit?

Hi, I just removed them.
Salve come prima cosa volevo farti i complimenti per il tuo canale e anche per come spieghi molto chiaro e comprensibile.
Volevo chiederti se potevi aiutarmi prima che io rinunci a questa cosa
Ho comprato un ssd m2 da 500gb, la mia sheda madre saberthot p67 non ha il posto dedicato, ho preso un adattatore PCI expres 16x ho installato tutto messo in funzione tutto ok, funziona ho clonato in mio ssd sata con il sistema operativo windovs 10 seguendo le tue indicazioni per sostituirlo con il nuovo ssd m2 ma aimè la bios non lo vede, e quindi non posso cambiare l'avvio del disco,la bios l'ho aggiornata lo scorso anno, non so se si deve abilitare o modificare quache cosa.
Ti ringrazio.🤞
Ciao! Grazie mille per i complimenti, sono felice che trovi utili i miei contenuti. 😊
Per il tuo problema con l’SSD M.2 e la scheda madre Saberthooth P67, ecco alcuni passaggi che puoi provare:
Verifica compatibilità del BIOS:
Anche se hai aggiornato il BIOS, potrebbe essere necessario verificare che supporti il boot da dispositivi M.2 collegati tramite un adattatore PCIe. Non tutte le schede madri P67 supportano questa funzione nativamente. Cerca nel manuale della scheda madre o sul sito ufficiale di Asus.
Imposta il BIOS per il boot UEFI (se supportato):
Alcuni adattatori PCIe e SSD M.2 richiedono che il BIOS sia impostato su modalità UEFI anziché Legacy.
Entra nel BIOS e controlla nelle impostazioni avanzate se puoi abilitare UEFI come modalità di avvio.
Verifica la priorità dei dispositivi di avvio:
Anche se l’SSD non viene riconosciuto nella sezione "boot device", prova a cercarlo nelle impostazioni di gestione PCIe o nella lista dei dispositivi collegati.
Se appare nella lista dei dispositivi, prova a impostarlo come "Primary Boot Device".
Problema con il clone del sistema operativo:
A volte il clone di un disco SATA su un M.2 potrebbe non trasferire correttamente le informazioni di boot.
Puoi provare a ricreare il record di avvio usando uno strumento come il disco di ripristino di Windows. Avvia da un’unità USB o DVD con Windows 10, vai su "Ripara il computer" > "Risoluzione dei problemi" > "Prompt dei comandi" e digita:
bash
Copy code
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
bootrec /rebuildbcd
Controlla l'adattatore PCIe:
Assicurati che l’adattatore PCIe sia collegato correttamente allo slot PCIe x16. Alcuni slot PCIe secondari potrebbero non funzionare altrettanto bene. Prova a usare lo slot principale (quello più vicino alla CPU).
Test SSD su un altro sistema:
Se possibile, collega l’SSD M.2 con lo stesso adattatore a un altro PC per verificare che il disco sia funzionante e che il problema non dipenda dall’hardware.
Se nonostante questi tentativi il BIOS non vede ancora l’SSD, potrebbe essere una limitazione della scheda madre. In tal caso, potresti considerare di usare il nuovo SSD come unità di archiviazione secondaria anziché come disco di avvio.
I had a bad SATA cable (maybe shortcut), so my SSD died... So I replaced the SATA cable, but my Macbook can not find the SSD. You think, in my case the same procedure like in this video will work?
Should test the ssd with external connector first.
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
I love the video! You made it look very easy. Is it possible that you can make a list of equipment you have or comparable from Amazon?
Good morning Sir, could i simply connect the SSD with a USB adapter? Or do I need that special adapter that you have used?

Did you replace the two shorted capacitors or just remove them?
Hi, I just removed them.
Let me get this straight. Is it just to remove the shorted components and leave without replacing?
Aren't they there for a reason and the board might just not turn on without them?
I think that the shorted caps that I removed are filter caps, so removing them will still make the board work which is good enough to give me time to recover the data that I need.
After trying to get the ssd to read i noticed there were quite a few components that were hot. But after removing all 22 of them when i plugged it back in to the pc it got so hot it shot a spark out of it then the pc flashed a blue screen and now it wont power on at all.. i am going to try flipping the little red switch on the back of the computer.. says 220 and 110, i am going to move it to the 110 side and see if that helps..
It didnt help, it created more hot sparks.. but this time my light bulbs in my home went out. I think i uploaded a virus to my house now because nothing is working.. i think the virus is in my fuse panel, maybe if i try the ssd in there. The fuse is all black, will try the ssd card there and see if my pc boots..
Well that made a lot of hot sparks but the lights are back on,.
I have to go now, the fire department is telling me i need to leave because somebody set fire to my walls. People are cruel..

So, are you only removing the shorted capacitors and then the SSD is working again or are you removing and replacing with new capacitors to fix it?
Hi, yes, removed the shorted caps. Didn't have to replace.
just to clarify, it is a remove and replace the shorted parts rigth?
Hi, removed.
is it combination of flux and heat that lets you remove the capacitor? or did you need a solder too?

Hi, I have a SSD that works fine but it drops it's drive letter every time I unplug it and so each time I plug it in I have to go to disk management and reassign a drive letter but this means it can't boot from it without a drive letter, do you have any ideas as to the problem.Thanks.
Hi, I haven't come across that problem before. You can try and check for disk error like chkdsk /f x: or update your pc's windows because it might be related to USB controller drivers. I'm not sure. Hope you find a solution. Good luck!
@@ReynaxisSolutions Yes it is a strange problem but the drive works perfect once I assign it a drive letter. I have 5 SSD's on my PC and all the others work fine.

How did you what capacitance new caps should have?
Hi, by looking at another same SSD that has the same model.
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.
Sir, watching your video, do you replace the damage capacitor with new capacitor?
Hi Sir, no I did not replace the capacitor. It's advisable to replace it but it can also work without it.

Hi sir, I'm currently working in Papua New Guinea so I have not idea on how much the techs in the Philippines are charging for this repair/data recovery.
Hello are you still in Papua New Guinea? i would like send you my SSD card for repair do you accept that?
Hi sir, at the moment po hindi ako tumatanggap ng parcel from overseas for the risk of it getting lost.
Great - a jazz channel with some electronics thrown in. Maybe not record it in a shopping mall though
Would this same method work on an m.2 NVMe SSD?
Hi, I have yet to try.
Hello, my NVMe SSD suddenly died a year ago after installing a NVMe heat sink. I did not remove it from my unit and install a new SSD and new windows. But now, upon checking on my storage, it seems that the NVMe comes back to life with all data not being erased.
I am happy that the NVMe worked again, but I am still wondering what happened. Maybe you have an answer for that? Thanks in advance.
Same thing happened with my NVMe. It died and after installing an SSD, it came back to life. Maybe lose connection.
@@ReynaxisSolutions it died again today after deleting those windows files that I don't need.
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.
So you just removed the capacitors that were shortened and thats it?
So no replacement just remove everything thats shortened?
Hi, if it is a faulty resistor or faulty diode, you must replace. In my case, there's so many caps in the logic board that removing some doesn't have to be replaced. If you have a replacement capacitor, then replacing it is a must.
Did you replace the caps you removed?
In this case, not necessarily because we only need to copy the important data.
Hi guys, my ssd when plugged in, shows the content but as soon as I access the folders, the window sops responding.
I am.mot able to scan it either.
Can someone help me please.
I have some sound samples and plugins in it and my software is not detecting them
Did you just remove the capacitors? You didn’t replace them?
Hi, i did not have to replace them.
Fixed? Did you replace the caps?
Hi, no.
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.
What If it's not showing at all in the beginning? I removed my SSD from the laptop and connected it on another laptop through a SATA converter, but it's not recognized at all... any solutions?
Have you tried using another cable?
@@ReynaxisSolutions yes I tried 2 different ones, I also have another SSD drive that I've tried and that one works fine :(
@@salahhelmy9907 Hi, in that case, the logic board of the SSD must be checked for problems.
So I am planning to use this same SSD to record on straight from a camera monitor. 1. What are my chances of this SSD failing? 2. If lets say it fails during a wedding I am shooting, Will I be able to recover what I had already recorded. Thanks
If the SSD is brand new, I would not worry about it failing. It doesn't have a mechanical parts so the risk is low. I would not use a second hand ssd for that important occassion because SSD it has a built-in time of death.
the capacitor u remove u replace them or with out them u repaired it
Not replaced.
@@ReynaxisSolutions mean that after removing the capacitor which is not working hard drive work proper
Bro my wd ssd is not formatting and whenever i try to format it the data is back to its original form, have tried cmd, software eveything which was possible now my questions what is the issue and can it be fixed?
