Tutorial - Repair - Lacie Power Supply

If you have a LaCie USB Hard drive and the power supply is making a hissing noise and/or the hard drive has stopped functioning (because of the hissing) then this video is for you.

This will show you the cause of the hissing and failure.

Please be aware you take all responsibility for any damage that may happen. :-)

You could have got those caps at Radio Shack.

Hmm, I think I looked but didn't see them there. Or maybe they were going to cost a lot more.

what about the volt if it's high or low like i have  20 pcs electrolytic capacitor 330uf 200v but i find 20 pcs electrolytic capacitor 330uf 25v

@Sajjadkhan456456

Did you intend to put 20V in place of 200V?

I believe the higher rating is fine... meaning putting in a higher rated one is okay. I'm basing that off of what I recall from what I posted as other sources for the information I used.

If you are not sure... then I suggest you look into it a little more... but my free opinion is that I seem to recall it being fine. I am pretty sure I used higher rated ones myself.

Wow... pretty bad.

I have an "ICY BOX IB-NAS4220-B" with the same problem. When I take a look at the sticker on the power supply I saw that this is the same as the LaCie One.

I also have a LaCie 3.5" 160GB external drive that crash.... For me, nô more LaCie.

Thanks

I'll never EVER buy a lacie again - worked on too many projects where they've died on me.

I have many customers who had the same problem. I have two units that I have to repair. What a joke. Why no class action against these clowns?
