Hi all, HELP !
My Samsung external/portable hard drive didn't work for me tonight.It has a flickering light, and burning smell.
The hard drive contains nearly all my children's photos, so it’s obviously really worrying.
I’ve seen how to dismantle the box, and access the PCB’s.
There are 2 pcb’s, one looks like just being the power supply, which I think might be the problem,and the other,larger board seems to be the main board/brains.
It looks quite straight forward to swap the boards, but getting the correct boards is a bit of a minefield.
