Intel 520 Series 60GB SSD shorted caps

[James]

The pic is Intel 520 Series 60GB SSD PCB

Caps 179 & 180 on inductor L3 appear shorted to ground.

Can I simply remove them or do I need to replace?

Yes, the failed cap should be replaced because those are puffer caps for L3.

I think not both of them sorted but one of them because they're connected in paralel. Or if the short remains after removing both then check the switching element on the other side of the coil. You can measure them removing one by one, starting with C180 because that seems scorched. Measure the cap and the PCB if the short remains, and if yes then remove C179 too, measure again, etc.

In addition to those filter capacitors, there would be more smaller capacitors on the same supply rail surrounding the major ICs. For example, if this were the NAND Vcc supply, then there would be one or more Vcc bypass capacitors adjacent to each NAND.

If the resistance is not 0.0, then the affected capacitor should warm up as a result of ohmic heating.

Client found their data elsewhere so cancelled the job.

Thanks Karpatis and Franc.

You need to identify where is the short. best is to lift first cap, measure if short still present if yes, lift the other one. but on the pics, C56 looks the most suspicious. If C56 is the culprit, remove it and test SSD.

Thanks Claude and good to know for future ones :)

Unfortunately the client located the data they needed elsewhere so cancelled.
