Hi ,
I dropped my hard drive ( wd 500Gb external ) and now my laptop doesnt detect the hard drive. It porbably a small loose contact or dislocation because sometimes it gets detected .
I need to get it fixed ASAP ( i have some critical data in it ) . i am in singapore for a week and i need to do some presenatation on some data on the drive by next thusaday .
Can someone please suggest any repair center / shop which can do it instantly . The hard drive is out of warranty .
Thanks
Rohan
buy a pack of screws and open it up yourself to see. try unplugging and reconnecting all connections you see to see if it works.
btw, if you hear a whirring sound as you try to start up your hard drive, don't bother doing anything. it's damaged, and you can just throw the disk away.
also, it's better to store all your stuff on the cloud =)
Crack open the thing and connect the drive directly to your PC.
sometimes we may not be allowed to store sensitive, confidential presentations on the cloud (any, including those online sites even with password access).
sometimes there are automatic encryption installed by the administrators into the computer and storing onto the cloud renders it useless.
