If your hard drive is seriously f*cked , and you have some big shiny globe ( or you ’re dumb as hell ) , you might be interested in how a blighter from Mandible Games claims that he recovered data from his campaign . According to the clause , he notice that his drive would spin , but it would not show up in BIOS and there was a distinct and repetitious clicking haphazardness .
After a piffling experimentation , he take in that it the nous may have gotten misaligned or stuck , and if he could jar the heads liberal , it might work again . Naturally , when you fire up something up , it expands — so , in theory , if the drive was inflame , it should have the same effect . manifestly , by double boiling your drive you may achieve the right amount of heating plant without doing any further damage — and the guy take that the drive worked perfectly after the procedure .
Would I do this ? Hell no — but then again I ’m not a moonstruck and I ’m not unforced to screw around with of import data point . However , if your idea of troubleshooting is to bang on it with a hammer , or your are too cheap to pay someone to recoup your data , this may be something to try on . [ Mandible GamesviaSpluch ]
