Awesome , software and hardware skills, your are the complete technician and something to be proud of man !
Awesome video! Thanks again for posting! I've taken HD's apart knowing they would be destroyed in the process, and it's baffling how easy you make it look. I've struggled removing the head arm most of time and again, I wasn't the most gentle while doing so either. :)
one good whack of a hammer gives stress relief, and gets rid of your crapped out drive. Buy a SSD for 20 bucks and move on.....
you deserve more likes man ! GOD bless you and hope you health and more accomplishment :)
help: i unstuck the head of my expansion drive but when i connect it to the pc, the head can't go on top of the disc?
My WD 4tb passport will work fine then all of a sudden i'll hear this click sound still can open files ect but as soon as i try to write from it it'll not do anything & everything on my pc will stop responding...
Really enjoying these videos, keep em rolling!
thanks man, I will for sure
I have an issue with a dead toshiba laptop drive, its does not spin up or read at all, on the inside the motor moves freely, platters look good, the heads look fine, and the pcb has no damage? Any idea what could be the problem!
I have a 2.5" drive that just makes a constant loud click, what do you think the most likely problem is with it? Stuck head, bad board?
Your videos are extremely helpful. Thank you!
Great videos I'm learning a lot thank you. 2 questions:
1) I have a WD20EADS Black ext backup drive that dropped on a carpeted floor. Now it spins up but windows can no longer read. I looked for another new drive to use parts from but I notice the MFG date and DCM# is different. What are the chances that this drive's board and internal parts will work for repair?
2) I'm comfortable learning anything technical and would like to persue leaning hard drive repair. I have about 50 drives (and several computers) I've accumlated over time and would like to teach myself as much as possible. My question is, what is the best place t0 buy the CORRECT tools, adapters, clean environment cabints etc. ?
Thanks!
I have a wd wd10jmvw and the hard drive heads go over the platters but then go park to park and it does this over and over again. What would the solution be to get the data off. Move the platters to a working drive.
I have one question, if ur drive has a read head with multiple layers u put some kind of plastic inbetween them. Is that plastic always specifically big or of specific material? I want to try swapping the read head of my hdd.
your pumping these videos out man.
:) thanks man!
Hi, Thanks a lot for all your details and your explains. You do very easy. I discovered you 2 months ago and I'm seeing all your videos and learn a lots. Thanks so much.
Thejamado I am very glad to hear that!
greeting! when replacing the disc cue head must be all from the same hard disk manufacturer or can it be a cache of any one? but with the assumption that electronics and electronics have changed?
Awesome as always. Thank you from Portugal.
Hi, Do you use new hard drives as "organs donor" (i don't know how I should call that in english) to fixing the broken ones? And if you do, those new hard drives can be reassembled and work fine? Also it's securely possible to use parts of broken HDs to attempt to recover the HDs of clients? Thanks.
Well done!!! Hands steady like a surgeon!
Hello, just a theoretical question; how similar is heads from different manufacturers? i assume there will be some difference, but from afar, they look rather alike.
Do HDD manufacturer make their own heads or do they reuse latest standards so to say?
My 2.5" Seagate 500gb laptop drives when connected shows only 3.8GB space n doesn't allows POST test to complete n BIOS gets stuck on blinking cursor. HDD get's detected with my primary HDD of 1TB Seagate HDD in Dell Precision M4800 workstation laptop. How to fix my defective drive that doesn't spins. please suggest.
My hdd dropped from the table there is clicking sound.swap head will it work?without going through pc3000 tool software.
Hello bro, I've got a simple query when you switch your read head in a hard disk with a new one outside the damaged Does showing the information from the damaged hard ...... I have heard there is a special device that extract the files from my hard do you know what is the device
sorry my external hdd 500gb fell and stop working and it is where i had my working document how can i go about it for recovery
assume that i have a laminar flow clean room , and i performed a successful head swap, can i recover the data without the need of a pc-3000 device\software but only using some regular data recovery softwares ?
Hi i have a hard drive that make sound even wen i connect to the Pc it makes a sound like same thing is plug in but it doesn't work. Help please...
Man I can't stop watching your videos.
I have taken a leap of faith and brought a dozen or so hard drives to have a bit of a look and have a go at taking them apart. I know it is not going to be easy as you show it in your videos, but you never know unless you have a try and see what happens.
Is there any other real tips or even just some basic info in like what say toshiba drive parts are compatable with other toshiba drives? or for any other brands?
Thanks again for your great videos
My hard drive arm keeps moving back and forth and beeping sometimes. It's like it's trying to find something. In disk management it was black so I did whatever to turn it blue but it never completed so I gave up. Kept saying formatting but it never finished. A 1 foot drop in a box killed it.
Wait, so you could plug/unplug internal hdd while the computer is on?
I have a friend whose hard disk trays to spin and then shuts down followed by trying to spin and then shuts down. Click of death. Is there any way to repair the hard disk and recover the data?
Hdd is showing on computer but it makes computer hand and search but hdd not opening why what could be the problem?
Hi, i just found about you, and you are doing a great job, i'm a big fan.. keep going.
My question is that i want to know what do i need as head replacement tools because i'm really getting confused about which tool for which HDD. And last what your advice for starting a data recovery businnes. Thank you
Thanks a lot man , I wish you best .
i have 2 hdd seagate 1tb sata, af and another which is 500gb. both are showing up in my comp. sometimes there is a clicking sound. but doesnt get detected even when it seems to spin smoothly. any ideas?? i wont be able to send it to u or something as im in india.
Hey man...! I want to know that which software do you use to check HDD.
Thank you for the video. Very clear.
can you please help me with my external hard drive... windows 10 does not read it anymore but reads others
Please help me HDD recovery services, I have a hard drive with 6 heads 3 discs that I want it's data recovered, but the donor hard drive i got it's 4 heads 2 discs, can I do that, at least to recover some data?
You are a genius! Congratulations!
Great video bud!!!!
Hi bro i want to replace my laptop HDD header it not working it 1 tb hard disk does it differently in 1TB HDD and 500GB HDD header how can get header kindly to suggest me waiting your reply
Thanks for the video
My question is I opened my hard drive and the problem is the head is not moving fast as it usually doo
Subbed as well - brilliant!
thanks :)
You're the best of data recovery.... Nice job man.... 👍👍👍👍
BGM: ukiyo feat herbi - home
Dude , you're absolutely a genius ...wow!
Thank you for the interesting video. May I ask you some questions?
1) Why are you actually moving the U12 IC from one PCB to another? With PC3k you can read the ROM of the passport drive with the Serial Interface and write it with the SATA Interface to the SATA PCB. I think, it's much faster then the chip transfer. And you can reuse the SATA PCB more times.
2) On the first WD Blue drive you did't use the HDD Surgery Ramps, but just heat shrink tubes. Is there a reason?
3) May be you can help me a little bit with one case. Currently I have a WD Passport drive with the wd20nmvw-11AV3S0 HDD inside. This drive has 8 heads. One (afaik 7 of 8) is not reading at all. I tried to get a cheap donor drive, but it was impossible. The price is about 200-300$ for a working drive. On the other hand you can get 2TB Notebook drives for about 60$. How are you handling such cases and finding a donor?
hey, awesome questions.
1) just a habit, but I should really start doing it the solderless way.
2) I will check the family of the blue drive and post in here on Monday, but they do have a 2 disk ramp in that kit that lines up with that family
3) as long as the family is the same donor should work regardless of the spec. I use desktop donors all the time, as long as they have a SATA version of the same PCB they are really good to me. Then there is also this: ruclips.net/video/bN8uwV7udtI/видео.html
but I have not ran into a swap case where I needed to perform such adaptation. Like I said WD is very good for taking parts as long as family is same.
how did you check compatibility of those two ?
Awsome job sir,well done,i really enjoyed this,very much indeed,thankyou.
which programs do ypu use after head swap? to recover data
u win a sub =)) +1
nice skills, keep like that
Thank you :)
very interesting video!
just a small question
Do you make calibration for the buttom head screw? in case 1& 2 after add the donor head
no, just screw them in tight enough
do you have any videos that show different types of symptoms of HD failure like diagnosing board or head failure or motor etc?
1. Dead PCB (Or damaged Boot-ROM): No sound at all, because drive does not spin up
2. Clicking sound of any kind: heads cant read
3. Beeping Sound: Heads stucks on surface
Can you tell me What hardware and software is use i want to buy...
Hy.I'm from Croatia and would like to know a few questions if possible.BTW just found about you and just subed!Amazing skills and video.About the qustions.I have a Hitachi 3.5" 640gb hdd and its doing that famous death clicking.Opened it up to see and it's scratched circularly from the head and the scratch is at the inner end of the disc,almost at the very end.My conclusion is that theres alot of data before the end to be recovered so thats why I kept the drive for so long waiting for the tech to get better.Seeing you it did!So can some data be recovered and what would be the price?On the drive its not more than half on it to be recovered maybe arround 200gb.P.S.The data to be recovered its all pics and videos of my dearest memories of my life and a majority of my ex girlfriend and me.Thanks in advance.Zoki.
Is "clicking" definitely a damaged head?
ThQ brother
Hello. Great Video. I have a few broken head HDDs which I would like to play with could you please tell my what sort of material (plastic, rubber) are you using to separate the heads. I'll be really grateful for your answer
I had the same question. Looks like some sort of dental rubber band. There is an expensive tool that you can get that works with Seagate drives, but not sure if you need a different tool for each drive manufacturer, because I do not know if the platter spacing is the same for each. Any comment?
what the price would be if person lost 3tb of data
Got a question got a new 4tb hard drive and it is an external hard drive but my computers are not recognizing it. Running Window s 7 pro on one computer Windows 7 Ultimate on another and Windows 8.1 on another. The drive spins up but it is not recognized by any of my computers. Any suggestions would be apreciated. It is also not recognized in Disk Manager.Thanks .
Hi sir, what is the solution for this, do you found it or not? I am facing same problem for WD 4TB My Book. Pls reply me if you have any solution
Are these head separators homemade. Did you make them yourself
I have a seagate freeagent Goflex 1 TB external Hard drive which has a very very strange issue. It gets detected by the computer and I am able to open the drive too. But browsing through the files is very very slow and I am unable to even play a single video. I can merely see what files are present within the disc. The disc keeps making a small clicking sound every 5-10 seconds even when its not being accessed. The only advice Ive got is to format it but i wish to try and save data. What could be the problem?? Thnx in advance
I would suspect that one of the heads is failing. Formating is not going to reverse anything, it will only make things worse. You need to seek professional help, this is not a DIY. if you want us to check it out feel free to hit us up here, and metion link to this video so I know that it is you: www.hddrecovery.ca/contact-us/
How do you get power to your external hard drive which won't show up on desktop and keeps making beep sound?
heads are stuck, I would recommend finding a place that works on hard drives to get it done
Amazing. Bravo.
how much do you charge for something like this?
Interesting and informative Thanks
my hard drive hitachi... the platter spins, then head moves, but then it beeps... i thinks head kept moving back and forth cant find where to stop on the platter..what to do?
Sheryl Buck throw away
nice, enjoyed the music as well. =)
Should I put my hdd upside down to ease wear and tear? I know you do it to put less strain on the arm/heads?
it would not make a difference
Question.. what would be the issue of doing a head swap and trying to run the drive without using those fancy utilities like building a head map or imaging the drive. Why not just run it?
what could go wrong if surgery is done without monitoring equipment? Surely enough in some conditions, it can be performed, but why would you want that? Hard drive after a head swap is not a brand new hard drive, and most of the time it will have problematic areas. Many things can go wrong. The operating system is not designed to work with failing hard drives. Disk imaging tools and utilities help to prep the drive for the safest extraction.
U fix hdd hard drive from Sony hanycam? If the silver disk is broken a little bit can it still be recovered
no
Excellent video. I have a question, and thanks in advance:
You recommend R-Studio in the description. During the last couple of days I have been playing with its demo and some other data recovery programs. The GUI looks indeed very technical focused, but I have not found it superior than other programs like for example Getdataback in what it can find on different data-loss situations.
Do you think that R-Studio is really that good compared to the other offers for rescuing data from logical failures? What do you think it is that makes it so special?
I really value a professional opinion like yours on this topic. You find too much rubbish on the review lists published on the internet. Most of these articles with review ranking lists are already payed upfront by one company.
Thorz r-studio supports almost every single operating system, it has virtual Raid reconstruct or with auto detect, it can link to a deepspar imager, or can create images while skipping bad sectors. The list goes on. I prefer UFS explorer to RStudio for my own work, but for consumer RStudio is as best as it gets. I haven't used getdataback for nearly a decade because last I've used it it was crappy.
Great. I will invest more time with r-studio then. Thanks for your quick answer!
hi hdd recovery I have a question for you, I have a 1 TB hard drive how big can a 1 TB image hard drive? , which software tool to use for the correct image hard disk? ,ftk images or someting else ?what do you recommend me to use hdd tools? ..... How much space on a hard drive should I have to create an image hard drive. ???
Images that we make are "sector-by-sector" so the target should always be equal or greater than the patient
@@hddrecoveryservices Is the sector-by-sector approach more reliable then the regular disk image backup or am I wasting my time? Will the restore points still work on the recovery partition if I don’t use the sector-by-sector method? Thanks.
On a scale of 1 to 10 how much would you recommend I try this at home (I also have that 2tb WD)? I would build a filtered and sealed box in which to conduct the operation. I also have very steady hands and high attention to detail.
Plamen2007 honestly, if you need your data don't try to do this. Without any practice and having any success in the past I would say -5 out of 10
Thanks for the response. I'll look into services then. I'm not sure about your rates but here in Amsterdam, they're bordering extortionate. Starting from 300 to 1000 euros...
you might want to explore Eastern Europe (Russia or Ukraine). Pricing there is substantially lower
I was actually planning to send it to my brother in Bulgaria. Do you happen to have any connections there?
What price u actually take,, for some hdd with hardware issue.. Any average? Just asking because my bro doing business of computers,. So we also got many hdd with hw failure.
Asking for an idea... For telling to person who came to our shop.
Do you do the repair in dustfree area or?
Because I have heard alot about that just opening a disk can destroy it.
Laminar flow bench. That why there is wind in the microphone
How is it possible to swap 1TB heads on a 750GB hdd, there are no difference between them? And if so, when it's possible and when not? Thanks
simple they had a similar structure, eg:1 tb drive has 3 platters 6 heads, 750gb may have had 3 platters 5 heads.
Nice work. Do you know about compatibility of head for WD5000BEVT with donor WD5000BPVT? What about circuit? Thank you for answer
On donordrives.com there is a guide on parts matching
Hi I have a hardisk with the Rom (Bios burned - in the sense that PCB's rom is missing)
Reason I had buying a card to do the swapping but the repairman lost the original card)
Do you think it is possible to recover my Seagate Hardisk?
In short, the HD has never been opened and card that has does not have the original BIOS-
I feel the engine turns but it doesn't see any data windows with new pcb donnor
Thx Franco Italy
Not unless you are OK with astronomical price with 4 zeros.
Can I work with you guys? I already do some data recovery, but I'd love to work with your team and learn more :) Great videos!
how to repier relocate sectors
Hi Mate, I have the clicking noise with my WD external 4404a, I can see the drive in device manager but unable to see it in c drive, anything you can recommend to try please. Thanks again
Clicking noise there is only one recommendation. If data is important get pro help. This would probably run you $800-1200
I Respect you sir
I have a HDD where the heads have crashed onto the drive and created a large scratch. Is there still any way of recovering any of the other data? Do you have a video on how you recovered data from such a drive?
possibly, but this is not for video capturing type of case. Usually, those cases requier amputation of heads on scratched levels, disk cleansing if needed, multiple head replacement, lots of swearing, and tons of patience. On ocasion we get cases like this, but there is a lot of elements in the process. If you have a scratched drive and need your data, you need to take it to a pro. Watching video and seeing how it is done is not going to help.
I did learn soming today..thanks
What are those tiny yellow things?
♥the art of recovery♥
Thanks!
How can I send you my hard drive?
GUYS WHAT DOES HE PLACE BETWEENTHE HEADS ???
Brother i have a question ..., Will it work if i replace 2TB drive header with 500GB header in because the 2TB drive Average response time is too high and the drive makes clicking sound when it is accessed
Plz reply Soon if u get this message
Help, I have important data in my 2.0 USB SATA hard drive. Just recently, the drive does spin but it remains undetected. I have tried open the case and the head is just in place, nothing seems stuck. What are the possible solutions?
if it's a usb sata, put the drive back together and plud ir into your desktop, or juat replace the usb/SATA board. bout 5-9 dollars on ebay.
this the usual problem with those things. they automatically get 5v from the usb port so they spin up but cos the USB/SATA converter doesnt convert so nothing gets sent through to tell the system that the drive is alive and ready.
so therefore the system doesn't recognise its there
Thank you for your suggestion, I will buy the new board and try it out.
Bro I want to become data recovery specialists like you. Please help me on this.
sir what if in case of pcb is burned and adaptive data chip failed. does plater swap resolves the problem
no platter swap only resolves issues related to the motor. Platters only get swapped if motor is burnt, or seized, or contaminated by water damaged sometimes. adaptive data inside of the eeprom chip on WD can easily be rebuilt, but if you have a seagate I dont know a way to assist
thnk u sir
Hello
When You make a headswap on wd drive, you only swap heads? or you swap ROM too? Best regards
if you use original board, then you keep it original.
If i good understand :-) You swap donor heads to the patient hdd - and leave original ROM and Original Board patient if is 100% working. Yes? :-) i'm sorry if my question is not understand :-)
yes
Thanks :-)
Internal Seagate Barracuda 500GB drive spins up and spins down and then stops spinning. It causes NTLDR is Missing Error. HDD intact and was never dropped.
Good afternoon I really liked the video I'm Brazilian and I would like you to give me a hd recovery course and where I buy the tools and how the laboratory should be. I'm sorry I do not know how to speak English and I did not use Google Translate.
The same question, I´m glad to know about you great job
hey man great video, can you contact me? i wanna use your services
Hi nice your skills, complete technician
Good video....keep it up....
Tweezer brand at 12:00? I like the long reach these have! I use qianli tweezers right now.
I made these myself, its a modified bent tweezer
oh those, are branded xcelite
@@hddrecoveryservices Dang. Modifying tweezers are we lol. I'll have to get a couple sets. I know mechanic makes a longer heat dissipating tweezer. It's blue but I'm looking for something with a bit of a longer working tip
What are the little yellow things you stuffed under the heads before removing the assembly? Normally you'd used a special tool for this, right?
exactly, most of the time we would use a head comb for head removal. those are just spacers to keep heads apart and prevent touching.
Fair enough.
Hey, how come you make an image of the drive each time? Can't you just copy the files directly?
Wyr3d that's a huge nono in data recovery.
How come?
I have a HDD that crashed last summer. The drive was readable, so I shut it down, and bought a new drive. I didn't have my rig with me (former PC engineer), so I sent it into a repair shop. The idiots I sent it to (PC World chain store) insisted I have a fresh installation on the new drive rather than simply ghosting the data across as I would have done, and then transferring the data afterwards.
They had my stuff for over two weeks (I was quoted a few days, and "a week at the most") and when they called to say my laptop was ready, I had to ask for my HDD - which they had "misplaced". When I got to the store a technician was "working" on my laptop stating the HDD wouldn't read.
I noticed it was now clicking also. I believe they dropped my HDD making the problem worse that it was initially. What was probably just stuck heads, is now broken heads most likely - long story short, never take anything into that chain-store's "Know How department" as thy only know how to break shit. ==
Anyway, I only really need a couple folders with some files, not the whole drive, which is 1TB. I already bought a donor drive, and was thinking of just swapping the heads out and taking the files I need. The rest isn't important to me, so it doesn't seem worth imaging the whole drive if I can just get the specific files I need.
Won't it work? I've already wasted money on this, and I don't wanna spend the ridiculous prices I've been quoted here (UK) for data recovery services (I got quoted something like when it's just a few files I want.
unless you do this every day, I would not recommend just swapping heads. It looks easy in my videos, but only because I've been doing this stuff for 12 years now, since 2005. If you do anything for 12 years - you will make it look easy :). Is it a WD drive?
what soft ware are you using to check the sectors? thanks. i enjoy watching your videos :)
