Data recovery

OK I`ve changed my mind, you definitely drink too much.

I don`t need to prove anything to anyone, I gave a bit of advice that I know can work in certain circumstances, if you want to try it, try it, if you don`t want to then don`t. I really don`t care that much.

If you`re worried about damage to your pc, then don`t do it, maybe put in a caddy or I`d be happy to do it for you.

Now we come to the crux of it, you joined the site hoping to impress with your PC skills and no doubt I would have to be grateful and pay you.
Well thanx very much but no thanx.
My PC was built to order back in 2007, I have updated most of the components since then, no doubt even though it would last in its present condition for several years I will continue to update it until I get fed up with the colour of the case.

Allow you to touch it? I wouldn't' allow you anywhere near my freezer just to polish the door.
We have accyman to do repairs for those that don't understand computers, if he was no good there would be complaints.
Personally I'm a bit of a nonerist with my computer, (I can do it myself).

Goodbye find another site to prey on.
 
I actually joined this site looking to see if a story in the telegraph was being discussed locally, it wasn`t so i`m not going to say what it was and get people talking about it.
I wasn`t suggesting i connect your hard drive to your computer for you, i was suggesting i would connect it to mine to recover data for you.
And i`ve helped many people with pc problems and never ask for a penny.

Did you add this post just so I would wet myself? I've already said I'm drinking.
So you put a phone in a freezer for 2 minutes and expect the temperature within to phone to drop (better off giving it a blast from a Co2 extinguisher) THEN, you mention it's water damaged.
Well I wonder why?:D

HAHA. Something like that.

Well. It was more like 5 minutes after the phone had been turned off for a considerable amount of time......But. It was already water damaged. That's the reason why the fault was there in the first place.
 
avoid the water damage by placing it in a "store n pour" kind of freezer bag, i too had heard of this!, also think they only other way is to send it off and attempt to have a new board fitted, as for backups i usually do use backups, this was my backup whilst i was messing with my macs hdd, in fact it was the drive out of my mac, its currently in a caddy, i havent tried it in my pc, just in the caddy, but hey ho!
 
Hey churchfc, if you`d like to give it a go & I can help in any way, then let me know.
I think I played for church FC when I was a kid, was run by a guy called Tony of Norfolk Grove, he used to work in Asda.
 
I have a theory, put it in an oven on gas mark 8 wait until you either,


funny you should say that because iv fixed a few rrod xbox's by sticking them in the oven for 10 mins on gas mark 4

now i use a heatgun to do reflows but you use what you can when you really must :D


for the record these were my own xbox units that i bought faulty i dont go around cooking peoples xbox's for fun lol

I was going to say this method can be used to fix graphics cards with dry joints but thought nah, been flamed enough on here already.

Hello, who are you? You have been flamed? let me know by whom! I will deal with them, just for you.

So far you have only been treated the way you deserve, like someone that knows nothing but wants to spread the same level of knowledge to the gullible.

You haven't found the thread? Then start it, anyone can start a thread, but not much point joining a site just in case a thread is started.
:confused:

May as well go living in your freezer.

Don`t want it talked about.
It`s about my daughters ex-boyfriend being a piece of ****.

Do you treat all members like this or is it just new ones, you sure know how to make someone feel welcome don`t you. Is there anyone on this forum who wasn`t a new member at some point.

sort of getting back to teh data recovery thing i do know people who have tried the freezer trick with hard drives and had mixed results from been able to grab a few mb to a few gb of data beofre teh drive failed.Please kids dont go throwing a hard drive into teh freezer theres a little more to it than that lol

seen as were talking whacky methods heres mine ( meant as joke dont do it)

take hard drive to police station and tell them gary glitter sent it to you

the police will send it to forensics who will use propper methods to examine teh hard drive

offer £20 to the police fund for a copy of whatever they retrieve :D (once it is confirmed theres no nasty stuff on it )

Some reading suggest the clicking can be due to the heads dropping off the platters and that it is sometimes possible to get them back where they should be. Anything that involves opening a hard disk is not a good idea.

Once opened one up and managed to get it spinning by kick starting it with a quick flick of the finger, worked enough ti get data off, but once its opened its do or die lol
