    How to recover data from an old Hard drive?

    Swapping the circuit board usually only works if the drive is up and spinning due to the defect map held on the board being unique to each drive, you also need to ensure you have the same board revision, crucially it's sector 0 that's key, if the actuator can't calibrate to this you are into a...

    How to recover data from an old Hard drive?

    I'd not suggest throwing hard drives in bin without physically destroying them as data recovery (theft) from old HDD is quite easy. Dropping them repeatedly on to concrete from a good height until they rattle works well, a 14lb sledge hammer can be fun and data recovery unfriendly, stripping...

    Have i blown up my PC ?

    If the fan is spinning then it's possible that the 5v rail has gone (used by USB), but on the odd occasion the CMOS memory (stores the date, and list of hardware) can stop a PC from starting POST (Power On Self Test) look for the coin battery on the motherboard and pop it out for a second or two...

    Hager - Media Hub

    Thought I'd Google

    Networking XP laptop and W7 PC??

    Mostly, shares can be a bit temperamental with W7 compared to XP as you now have admin privileges in W7, can sometimes block access but not a major issue once you understand the differences ---------- Post Auto-Merged at 23:54 ---------- Previous post was made at 23:49 ---------- Hey Canoeboi...

    samsung lcd

    Agreed good place to start with Samsungs, often another indicator is a clicking from the set, last time I repaired one it also had a blown power transistor, found it simply by inspecting the main power board, had blown two of the three legs so easy to spot
