🎥 In this video, I take on the challenge of repairing a damaged hard drive! Thanks to Dan Wesley for giving me the opportunity to inspect this faulty drive. While the repair attempt was unsuccessful, you can follow my detailed steps to troubleshoot and potentially fix a hard drive with similar issues. 🛠️
💻 Seagate ST500LT012 500GB Laptop Thin HDD
I tested the hard drive on both a laptop and a desktop, but unfortunately, neither device recognised it. Watch as I remove circuit boards, swap them with a donor drive, and test the results!
