• Dell Inspiron 17R - short self test unsuccessful

  Hi I bought my laptop in September and it was great, but today he asked me to do a system check.

  Initially, it gave me an error saying 'Targeted read Test failed' to my HARD drive and advised me to do a scan using the Dell Diagnostics at startup.

  The result is the following.

  Error code: 2000-0142

  Validation: 106114

  MSG: Hard drive 0 - S2WZJ90D491306 S/N, short unsuccessful test

  I read that I am eligible for a replacement HARD drive since I am still under warranty and I received in my email but I didn't know how to go on this issue.

  I'm also a student at the University, so I really need a laptop from work. Live in Ireland, that ETA would if I sent my laptop?

  You have a Dell warranty in force, need to contact the Support of Dell in Ireland directly, for the replacement of the hard disk, have the handy notebook Service tag.

• Drive hard short self-test failure and how to recover my data if HD packages in, also how 2 recovery to win 8.

  I have a computer dell laptop vostro 2520 it is the only 2mths old, already I'm short self-test failiers whenever I have an HD test!. It still works very well, but im worried he's going at any time!  The diagnostic test via (f12) after start-up also breaks down the hard drive but all the rest! I have the windows 8 support of recovery disk os only, comes with the cd of the laptop, the resources and the media and have backup on a given traveller! I'm not very good when it comes to pc but im learning! can I use discs that I have to re - install win 8? or if I do an image of the original system which allows? any help with these would be awesome! im not that familiar with computers as ive already said how do I a more thorough test to find out exactly what is causing the problem? Thank you for taking the time to read this and give me your comments. Dee.

  The hard disk will fail for sure either sooner or later, but it is a good idea to take a new hard drive and replace it with the old.

  You can use the Windows 8 installation CD/DVD to reinstall Windows 8 in the future. If the system breaks down suddenly and you have not taken any backup of important files, creating full system image is always recommended.

  Good luck!!

• XPS12 SMART short self-test fail WHD16 LY6

  "When you run the Dell ' Checkup" utility on the SSD drive, the drive will fail with:

  SMART short self-test fails WHD16 LY6

  The remaining tests are ignored. The suggestion is to update the firmware. However, my drive is:

  LITEONIT LMT-256M6M 256GB mSATA

  and I can only find firmware on the Dell site for both LITEONIT SSD 256 GB drives, or precisely what mine are. (Only LITEONIT LCS-256M6S 2.5 256 GB and LITEONIT LMT-256M3M MSATA 256Go are listed).

  I have the latest drivers for the disk (9Q23_Storage_Driver_X6KKJ_WN_11.5.0.1207_A01. (EXE)

  Are there available firmware, and if so where is it please? Otherwise, what is the next step?

  Thank you.

  Thanks, EJN - F12 diagnostics appear clean. I guess that I'm worried about this then.

• failure of the targeted reading test and smart short self-test

  I have over problems with my computer is - it related to software or hardware?

  Please advice

  • The purpose of S.M.A.R.T. is to warn a user of imminent drive failure while there is still time to take action, such as copying the data to a replacement unit.

  The above is an excerpt from the article below:

  S.M.A.R.T.
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.

  The thread below from Windows SevenForums describes possible solutions:

  Windows 7 - SMART short self-test fail
   http://www.SevenForums.com/hardware-devices/148900-smart-short-self-test-fail.html

  I strongly suggest you to immediately perform a backup of all your personal files, data, and anything else that is important for you to external media (an external IMO is better but you can also use CD/DVD or a USB flash drive) until the hard drive breaks down.

  Kind regards

• The hardware diagnostic tool advises that the SMART short self-test has failed.

  Hello Atelier42, this usually indicates that you have a hard disk failure.

  I would like to back up my data as soon as possible, just in case the hard drive breaks down actually.

  You must also make sure that you have the HP Recovery restore set for your system recovery disc in case you do not want to replace the hard drive.

  With this restore HP Recovery disk set, you could replace a defective hard drive and use this disk set to your HP system back as it was when shipped. Then, you could put your data saved on your system.

  It is likely that you will need to replace the hard drive.  To confirm, press F12 at startup, enter the Dell diagnostics.  Run an extended hard drive test.

  If the system is under warranty, logs the error and contact Dell for a replacement drive.

  If the system is out of warranty, any standard 3.5 "SATA drive will work as a replacement.

• SMART short self-test - on the second hard drive

  HP Pavilion Elite e9270t - 3 yrs old, Win7.

  Became the error SMART self-test short the original drive so I installed a replacement and transferred files.

  I get the same error on the second h/d. I have my doubts that the second disk is having the exact same error and wonder if the s/w test is actually the problem.

  It could very well be the connectors that gives you the question instead of the HARD drive itself. I would run the HARD drive test in BIOS instead of the short test.

  Try this:

  1. Plug the AC adapter into the computer if it is not already connected.
  2. Turn off the computer and wait five seconds.
  3. Press the power button to start the computer and repeatedly press the F10 key to enter the BIOS Setup menu.
  4. Use the right arrow or left arrow keys to navigate the menu selection to find the Auto test primary hard drive option. Depending on your BIOS, it is under diagnoses or tools.
  5. Select self-test primary hard drive, and then press the Enter key to start the test.

  Figure 1: Example of a primary hard disk self test screen

  
  

  The hard drive self test performs a Quick Test , followed by a complete Test. During each test, the window displays a status bar and a scheduled for completion

  Let me know the results of this test.

• SMART short self-test has expired

  I got a warning when I ran the Dell Media Center PC Auditor on my 1720 running Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 indicating the short SMART Self Test Timed Out.  I don't know what is SMART or what is talking about this warning.  Can I fix?  It is important and why?  Thanks, Chuck

  No, if it times out. If you want to check your hard disk, run the diagnostics Dell drivers and Utilities disc.

• SMART short Self Test Failed - (error code: WHD16-8NR)

  Hi all

  I had my XPS L520X for 4 years and 2 months. I've never had a problem with its operation until last week. Randomly, it restarted and came with the PCI Realtek issue when it restarts.

  To cut a very long story short Fault find it which is going on, I reinstalled the entire operating system, including formatting of the hard drive.

  The problem of the laptop different freeze/crash and reboot with erros while doing normal tasks has not been resolved.

  I have run the Dell support center software and it shows the auto SMART test failed with the following code (error code: WHD16-8NR).

  I also went in the BIOS BOOT MENU by pressing F12 at startup and ran diagnostics that seemed to have said everything going, however I saw a mistake, faliure in its process that was too fast for me to write the error.

  In a nutshell, my thought is that my hard drive has failed / is corrupted or is about to fail.

  My simple question is, do I need a new hard drive with the information I've provided?

  Thank you very much!

  To all those who read this topic:

  I rang Dell directly and they confirmed my hard drive needs to be replaced.

  8792 power over time, I think that its actually me good.

  Bravo and thanks for the reply ejn63
