  • dont yu have to be in a dust free enviorment is so then how to make a dust free enviorment

  • @killerZO3 only need dust free area if you are opening up the hard drive, wont need to be dust free to remove the curcuit board though.. thanks for contacting me :)

  • Hey Jason. Great video. Would this work if you know that the computer crashed because of a virus? Someone was using my laptop and downloaded a rogue "antivirus" software that made my computer crash. I cant even get on to windows.

  • @JEETkuneDOstudent this would not work for viruses, the virus would have been written to the disc of the hard drive not the curcuit board, i would suggest you swap the location of your drive and make another hard drive which has anti-virus software in it as your main drive and use it to start your computer, once your comp is on, run an anti-virus scan from the new drive to the drive that has the virus, I hope it works for you my friend, sorry took me so long to reply.

  • i cant even unscrew my hd, i tried every bit piece in my toolbox

  • @DuMa10000 i believe a small allen wrench is what is used for most hard drive screws

see all

  • Hi sir, I kinda slapped my laptop unknowingly above where the main hdd is located =/

    It worked for a few sec. then just froze, couldnt use ctrl, alt , del either. So i shut it off, the rebooted and got a 0xc00000e9 status and it doesnt boot to the home screen anymore T_T Did I mess up the actuator on it ? If you were in my position what would you do ? Thx !

  • is that you singing? pretty good man. thanks for the video and the song. haha.

    by the way, my laptop was acting very slow, and i got frustrated one day slammed my fist right where the hard drive is located. next time i booted up, i got a blue screen and unmountable boot volume. do you know if this can be remedied?

  • Is there any way to tell if a drive has a failed circuit board or is something more severe? I had a drive that was reading data really really slowly, sometimes it would hang and cease to even be seen by the system until I restarted. Now it's doing the dreaded click of death and ceases to work at all. I have my doubts that its the circuit board but I suppose its worth a try if I can find the same drive.

  • Take the blue pill, this video ends, and you will wake up in your bed and believe your hard drive never crashed. Take the red pill, and you will see just how deep this hard drive goes.

  • thx for the info =)

  • Jasonzelda, you will make a good actor. Give it a try if you have'nt done so..
