My friend and I want to freeze this mid-tower PC for 24 hours. Contains both an M2 and several HDDs.
Questions
1. Will doing this repeatedly, say every two weeks indefinitely, cause harm to electronics within in any way, assuming they are allowed to dry sufficiently before being turned on...
Wow, that completely slipped my mind. What a good thing to ask about. I went ahead and shot them over an email this morning and this is what they said:
Once the data is recovered, we will send you a list of the files so that you can make sure that your critical files have been recovered and let...
Ouch, I hope my problem isn't that bad. Thank you for the article TheELF. I am definitely going to wait to have a pro look at it. The place I who quoted me those prices said they have a "no data, no fee guarantee." So at least I won't be paying for nothing. Seems like a win/win once I get the...
Sadly these pictures are the culmination of two and a half years of dumping. My phone has 16GB storage (old Nexus 6) so I have to empty them out a lot. My wife has one too and it is the same story for her. On top of that, both phones died within the last six months. One was dropped and the other...
I've heard of the freezer trick but am too scared to try it. I really need the data off eventually (family pictures) so I don't want to take any unnecessary risks with it at this point. Thank you for mentioning it though. It is definitely time for me to start implementing regular backups into my...
I broke down and contacted a specialist to have my drive looked at. The read-write heads have settled on the platter surface and have become stuck to it. The beeping sound I described is the motor trying to turn, but is being stopped from spinning. This is the most expensive type of hard drive...
I turned my PC off, went to bed, started it in the morning and it stopped at the BIOS POST screen. It stated there was some sort of S.M.A.R.T error, that data loss was imminent and I should backup my data immediately. The drive no longer would boot into Windows. I plugged the drive into another...
Whoops. I meant that the "onboard video" is only possible with an APU installed in the system. That a CPU and a monitor hooked up to the HDMI port on the motherboard will not provide a video signal.
Hardware Involved
I built three computers with identical hardware, identical cloned Windows drives, but one of them has a GTX 1660S (HDMI 2.0b port). The two using on-board video (Asus Prime X570-P, manual) connect via a HDMI 1.4b port.
I have a Samsung 226BW monitor (DVI-D port utilizing a...
I was thinking about building a magnetic stirrer that had four stirrers. It would be a 2x2 setup (this pic is 1x2). 80mm pc/case fans that have a rare earth magnet with a pull force of 20lbs attached to the center.
My question is, with four fans that close together and with such powerful...
After looking over the various options at my disposal I think the most cost effective and likely least-problem ridden path is to go with a fan with built in speed control via a built-in switch. Thank you all very much for your help. Knowing the possible problems with the setup I proposed...
