Re: Dropped PC - Bad HDD?
In my experience once the error rates start ramping up on a disk, any error rates, the device will soon become useless. Dropping it may have broken off/knocked loose a bit of grit which is now dancing around on the platters. Get any data you want off that disk now.

Re: Dropped PC - Bad HDD?
So far nothing seems wrong just a massive amount of raw read errors and seek error rate and that number keeps getting higher and higher insanely quickly.Leave a comment:

Re: Dropped PC - Bad HDD?
My laptop would not have even noticed the sudden change in height.Didn't even pop the side panel yet
Everything seems to be working perfectly. I'll run an HDtune error scan and a SeaTools long test when I catch a few hours of sleep. So far so good. Basically it fell off the cart and everybody was like "OOOHHHH..." Thank god it was a shitty Dell Vostro 230 case (not the orignal internals of cuorse) not some fancy thing

Dropped PC - Bad HDD?
So between the truck and the building at LANfest my friend dropped my computer. It seems to boot and SMART data shows no bad sectors but the read errors are going up rapidly. Is it broken?Last edited by shovenose; 08-21-2015, 07:47 PM.

I am thinking of buying a component tester but I want to get the most out of the device for the money that I am going to spend
Any idea but I would prefer actual use of the device it good points and it short comings be completely truthful about the review of the device
There are so many versions of this type of device and I do not have enough information to make a good decision at this point
When I bought my battery testing machine I had some information to go by because of electrical experience with auto electrical experience in this field job wise (... -
One of my KP105 smart plugs failed today. It started very rapidly power cycling (you could hear the relay clicking on and off and the LED was going green/orange repeatedly).
I was going to just bin it but I opened it up out of curiosity. Found a swollen cap in the corner (bottom right of image). AiSHi brand, 470uF 10V 105*C. Not sure what purpose it serves exactly so can't comment on whether it is appropriately specced. Other members of this forum have reported similar findings with off-brand smart plugs but this is the first time I have seen evidence of this happening with a brand... -
good day hoping someone can lend a hand, im repairing smart tv 50 inch, status when turning on back light is dim but you can see the tv logo then slowly fading out to black, i check the supply to tcon, i only read 5+v, must be 12v, i removed lvds cable and check voltage to mainboard turned on its also 5v, then i remove the cable mainboard to power supply, i read 12v in power supply, thinking that the problem is in the mainboard, coz theres 12v in power supply, i also check while turning on checking volts in main board 12v dropping to 5v, im just new repairing in TV, hope someone see my post t... -
I am working on a 1992 Toyota pickup that has an electric speedometer. It is an analog needle speedometer and is driven by electricity.There is no cable. The transmission has a reed switch that sends a 12 volt pulse to the speedo 4 times per tire rotation.
According to GPS, the speedo is showing speed progressively slower below 50mph and progressively faster above 50mph. This also affects the odometer.
I've included a photo of the findings. The "control" is information I found on the net that correlates expected MPH based on a given hertz.
I removed... -
This is a set I posted about a few years ago. Replaced LED strips and worked fine until now.
Plug the set in, and it will turn on and functions with no issues.
After a while, (sometimes hours, sometimes minutes, sometimes immediately) the tv shuts off. When I approach the TV I notice the standby light is flashing rapidly, but the pulse of each flash is not long enough to notice from afar.
Other than the standby light, the unit is completely unresponsive until the power is removed and reapplied, then the cycle starts over. It does appear that the time it takes...
