How do you know if the hard disk controller is damaged or it does not work?

Hello

I would like to know how you can know if the hard disk controller is defect.  is there some tools for it or a way to test it.

I have thouthg my self for a solution like this;

-If I take the hard drive that is not working out pc and attach it to the speaker and the speaker set on a PC then I wil first hear the rotation of your drive hard so that when the PC wil recognizes the external hard drive as a hard disk and then the controller is OK, otherwise it means that the controller is damaged.

. I know mechanical problems with a hard disk, they do some sounds when they turn.

is the way I think it is the right way to know or there is much better way to find out if there is a problem with the hard disk controller.

Thank you

Johan

Small circuit board is an interface for cables that sorts what is happening in the place where. It holds the drive buffer and it tells the computer what it is, i.e. drive, speed, brand, model, size etc.

If you get an error of hard disk controller, it's a motherboard problem and there is no way to fix it.

Hard drives fail for two reasons...

  1. The platters inside are deteriorating to the point where they are no more able to maintain the structure of the sector/cluster.
  2. The spindle motor breaks down.

The part of a disk hard less likely to fail is the interface card, unless he is accidentally cut on the computer case or other metallic surface. If this short, you will know that the smoke resulting hard disk is acrid beggars belief. It is almost the only case where the interface will fail.

Even when a hard drive is subjected to temperatures beyond its limits, the spindle motor bearings will fail way before anything else, that's why the vast majority of the disk hard total fails is obvious because there is no vibration of the engine.

If a hard drive starts to cause problems, it is best to replace it because it will always get worse over time...

  • In safari how do I know if the site I bookmark is an existing already or not?

    In safari how do I know if the site I bookmark is an existing already or not?

    I bookmarked many sites and it is very difficult to follow and to organize because safari does not indicate if the site is set bookmark or not.

    I think it's a very obvious feature.

    I really don't understand why safari does not offer this feature simple when all other browsers.

    If anyone knows an extension that will solve this problem please let me know.

    Don't know if someone is having a similar sense of frustration about this Apple let it please. Apple - Safari - Feedback

    PS I know that I can search in bookmarks menu, but I find it very very inefficient.

    Unfortunately, you can not in Safari. You can see the App Store for a bookmark duplicate finder app.

    Also, since you favorite many sites and it is difficult to keep track of, you might have better luck using the Firefox Web browser

    They have an add we can help.

  • My CD-ROM/DVD-Rom drive & the Bison Webcam built into my laptop. Does not work after I upgraded from Vista home premium to Windows 7 Home premium.

    My readers Optiarc DVD - RW AD-7530 ATA Device DVD/CD-ROM & the Bison Webcam built into my laptop. Does not work after I upgraded from Vista home premium to Windows 7 Home premium.
    Although of course, the CD-ROM drive worked during the upgrade.
    I noticed that when I turn firstly on the laptop, the last two lines of the front entry from Windows 7 are the following.
    PXE - E6i:Media Test Failure, Check Cable
    PXE - MOF: Exit PXE Rom
    During the audit of each Properties in Device Manager devices", I learned that they both work correctly.  In the list in the printers and the @Devices the only Webcam shown is also a "USB 2.0 Camera"
    Can someone help me please?
    Best regards
    John

    Besides what abdelhak says:

    The message of PXE boot that you receive when you start your computer has nothing to do with your CD/DVD-Rom drive. Your computer uses a PXE boot method to attempt to load Windows from a location on your network. Since you do not have this configuration, it is safe to ignore it. If it slows down the startup time of your system, contact your manufacturer and ask them for instructions on how to "disable PXE Network Boot of the BIOS.

    Hope this helps,

  • I've lost the ability to copy files on my CD player. When I drag and drop, the only authorized action is 'move' and it does not work.

    I've lost the ability to copy files on my CD player.  When I drag and drop, the only authorized action is 'move' and it does not work.   I tried press and hold the CTRL key while dragging, and when I do that all the other disks show "copy" as the default action, but when I hover over the action CD player available only changes to 'pass '.   I ran the Microsoft Troubleshooting tool for CD/DVD players and he said that the media were not writable, but there is a blank CD in the drive.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Thanks, but the cd/dvd drive works well - I can burn a cd with windows media player for example.  the problem is that I can't copy files to it.   I can play CDs (haven't checked the DVD).  I can not do and could do before, is doing drag and drop files on it.  The only authorized action is "move".   This happens even when I click CTRL + do drag.   I can copy it to any other player, but the CD player, and when I hover over the "exemplary" drive CD goes to 'move '.

    have you tried using a different suite of cd/dvd burning?

  • I keep on getting error 0x6D9 and 0 x 80070424 code when you try to activate my windows firewall, also my mcafee firewall does not work.

    I keep on getting error 0x6D9 and 0 x 80070424 code when you try to activate my windows firewall, also my mcafee firewall does not work. I have Windows 7 and it started only caused since last week. Can someone give me an idea on how to solve this problem?

    When you have McAfee running, he provided the Firewall & automatically deleted the Windows Firewall.   Panel\Windows Firewall control page should have shown a message say.  If you managed to change the settings for the Windows Firewall then you might have corrupted both the McAfee & Windows Firewall.

    I really think you should try a restore for some time point before you tried modifications, if that is even possible.

    If you have uninstalled McAfee Control Panel, programs, then you must also run the Tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal or you will get several unpredictable problems.

    If you still have problems after running the McAfee tool then it could be the result of the previous Windows Firewall changes & the corruption of the system resulting.  Your system is in an unknown state as a result of these changes.

    You can try running SFC/scannow in an admin command prompt, but it wouldn't do any good.

    You may need to use the installation DVD to do a repair installation.  I hope get you lucky, but you may need to do a complete reinstall of Windows.

  • After VO extension update the page for some fields on a page does not work

    After VO extension update the page for some fields on a page does not work. The message arrives the data are saved, but the values is the same as that of the former. And this happens with only a few fields, other fields are working well.

    Any pointer to solve problems will be of great help.

    Thank you in advance.

    Check if the standard VO has a RowImpl and it overrides the methods getter and setter for fields that is affected. If so, you will need to call super() in your custom extended RowImpl to call this logic.

    See the link below for how to call great from the extended RowImpl.

    Johny tips: OAF: transient attributes not getting filled extended vo

    Example Code:

    public String getAttribute1() {
       //return (String) getAttributeInternal("Attribute1");
      return super.getAttribute1();
     }
    

    If the above did not help, attach standard and custom VO files. We can have a look.

    Redemption codes are good for one use.  You use a redemption code to purchase a serial number.  The serial number is what you need to recover.  If you have registered the software when you initially installed, then it might be available through your Adobe account online.
