I have a questions. How would I get training to learn to repair and restore hard drives? I've worked as a deployment consultant and before that it was mainframes. i also worked as a domain admin. But I'm getting older now and looking for work I can do at home. It appears as though a clean room or clean cube can be set up right in a small space of a garage or something of the like. I would appreicate any tips on this matter. Sounds like you know what to do to get a hard drive running? I have a questions. How would I get training to learn to repair and restore hard drives?

It was making some very funny groaning noises, but I connected it to an adapter to my main desktop machine and mounted it upside down. It must have taken the stress off the bearings as it recovered everything perectly. Just thought I'd share that with you.

All seems to be fine except that it is now very slow, seems to be getting stuck constantly, i.e. will type and letters will not appear 2 to 3 seconds later. In addition, watching vidoes on cnn, you tube etc for eg which used to be smooth with 0 glitches is now impossible as video keeps getting stuck etc. I can verify that this is not an internet issue. Any idea what the cause is and what I can do to fix it? I've had the laptop for about 5 months so was really not expecting problems so early on. Any help much appreciated. Thanks Hello,

I am having a massive problem with my Toshiba L100. I can't get it to turn on anymore, it will get to the windows screen and a box will pop up saying 'the application failed to initialize (0xc0000005) Click OK to continue' Then it is just a black screen. I have tried to boot in safe mode but it does the same thing. Now my goal is to restore it to factory settings, however, another problem arises, my CD/DVD drive doesn't work so I cant use the Recovery CD. Hopefully someone can help before I go mental and throw it out of the window! Thanks Hey.

If it takes 5 minutes after being on all night, and it beeps even when you're not at the laptop... then you certainly have a heat-related problem. This is most likely if the laptop is at least 6 months old. If it's over 2 years old and you've never cleaned the vents, then I know it to be 99% likely.

No doubt, it has a excellent AMD Turion processor, and even a very nice graphics card (not integrated); but, these high-grade components generate a lot of heat, but the laptop has a low-grade cooling system. . . I have no doubt that the drive failure is at least somewhat induced by the massive heat this thing generates. Additionally, and I noticed this on most low-grade and even high-grade laptops, the heat exhaust is on the side on the console, and the vents often only go up half the side of the laptop console. . . which means that if you put the laptop on any surface that is not flat and hard, there's a good chance it will overheat, and you'll lose your work. . . which means, in the end, the laptop is just a crappy desktop . . . .lol.

They all are very close in physical layout and tend to use the same type of ICs.

The computer I connected it to didn't even recognize it as an inaccessible drive initially, after a while, it came up as an unformatted drive, then disappeared again after a short while. Last night I showed it to my computer guy and he says he thinks the arm is broken in the drive. This is a clean room repair from what I've been told, and could cost more than $700-800. :( Actually, I tried that, connected as slave drive… i hear it trying to spin, but very weak, and spinning is not consistent.

They are sold at most major electronics retailers. I would then remove the hard drive from the laptop and use the USB chassis to connect it to you're desktop machine. From here you should be able to gain access to the drive if it is not to far gone. Sadia,
