Hard Disk Malfunction Is The Most Commonly Encountered Computer Repair Issue I Deal With

Hard drives go out for a variety of reasons. Hard drives come in 2 sizes primarily. For personal computers they are 3.5” in size and for laptop computers they are 2.5” in size. The harddrive and cdrom or dvd drives in computers along with the fans are the only mechanical pieces of equipment in a PC. The mother board and all else is electronic on circuit boards and have no mechanical or moving parts. Therefore it makes sense they're a typical problem for computer repairs and failure.

Hard disks may stop working in a variety of ways. The motor that spins them can cease working. That's easy to diagnose. Pickup the hard disk drive while it is on and you will feel the spinning action as you move it gradually side to side. It will feel like a gyroscope in your hand. This means it is rotating. The circuit board that is built onto the rear of the harddrive can fail. That could mean a complete failure also. Thirdly, the small needles inside that are between the platters are called spindles. They are the reading heads of the computer data on the multiple platters and if they fail to read they cause a hard disk breakdown also. So, harddrive can fail in several ways.

Often Windows won't finish a boot because the file it demands is unreadable from the hard disk. These boot up files will be required whenever you start your pc. Therefore they have the most process on that part of the hard disk, the most damage like tires. So it makes sense that not booting up is often a result of that portion of the harddrive being exhausted. Unfortunately you have to verify that the problem is not a virus that has altered or damage the boot files. Virus or damaged Operating System files can be repaired by reloading Windows or resetting you pc.

At present PCs that need new hard disks are trapped by the doubling of prices in the last four months. Because of floods in Thailand (where most harddrives are constructed) the value of hard drives has doubled and even tripled in some models. The price for Desktop repairs of hard disks will come back downwith a lot more time. I highly recommend you not purchase a used hard disk or try and repair a broken drive. Some think they could repair the sectors and set them aside and utilize the rest of the hard disk. I've discovered this to be false. The time that it takes to install Windows and locate the drivers, load your applications, install printers, antivirus and everything else is a huge investment that will have to be repeated. So don’t buy used hard disks.
