    Hello guys I suffer for the last two weeks of my Macbook Pro would be grateful if you help me.

    Summary:

    A few months ago my mac has been slow and when I restart or stop it would take a minute or two, what has not happened in 2012-2014. In 2015, I decided to upgrade my SSHD HDD - Seagate 1 TB (that I'd need more space and a better performance). After that the upgrade of SSHD everything went well, my mac has been rapid, the battery has now 8 hours of battery life (440 + cycles). Overall it was a great experience! However during the night my frozen Mac even the mouse cursor, so I closed my Mac and it set in motion this time he showed me an icon of the slash. I disassembled my Mac and handed the stock HARD drive. This time, he showed the white screen without the disks. I tried several boards of various sites and one from the tip which has been WORKED safe mode! When I restarted, he returned to square one... I used the same trick but it didn't work. Now I see that a white screen on both discs, sometimes the issue icon flashes. Just for you find the hard disk turns but does not recognize... Although she acknowledged on my other Mac.

    I just remembered something just before this incident happened, I was cleaning up my Macbook with a small wet towel size (including the liquid soup inside) and then I cleaned the screen, the trackpad and keyboard (some liquid went inside the thing black screen and some of them inside the edges of the trackpad) but I them rinsed quickly. After 2 days, the slash screen appeared, and that's how it started.

    I removed the battery to see if there is any corrosion or something unusual about this, I also checked the trackpad, and it wasn't any dry liquid or dust, etc.

    Get to the point:

    Currently, I use my Mac through an external SSHD and everything works fine, but I want to stop using this method and thus solve the problem.

    What exactly is the problem? Is my logic damaged Board and keep my HARD drive to recognize?

    Do you think that my card is fine, but I just need to replace the cable from the hard drive (821-1480) to a new?

    What happens if the hard disk thing stuck on the logic board or is damaged?

    Please help me and I'm sure that others are also facing a similar question. Another note, why some users claiming that their disk cable hard is to failure after replacing several times?


    We do not know "What exactly is the problem?". Get out your computer to an authorized for assessment service center. I suspect that you have caused water damage when the water and soup entered into your computer. Be prepared for a fix expensive since the water, not the soup ir and electronic works well together.

  • Seagate Hard Drive Firmware Update for the drive model: ST1000LM024

    I have (HP Pavilion dv6-7180se Entertainment Notebook PC). All the drivers for this model installed correctly except the drivers Frimware (Seagate hard drive Firmware Update) and (PLDS Optical Drive Firmware Update). the first one says "this hard drive model is not supported.

    This is to seagate:

    and for PLDS:

    Need help. Thank you.

    What mean of these messages, is that these "Firmware updates" do not apply to material in your specific computer. The two "Seagate Firmware Updates" are respectively for the hard drives of 250 GB / 320 GB and 500/750 GB hard drives. Your computer comes with a 1 TB hard drive, which is not subject to updates of the firmware. The "PLDS Optical Drive Update" is for another drive to CD/DVD only installed in your computer and also does not apply. There is no further action to take... Do not attempt to install these updates of firmware, because they do not apply to the hardware in your computer.

    Hello Vishal,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

    If you purchased a computer with installed OEM Windows 8 on it, there could be a sticker on the Tower, or in the back (in the case of a laptop) with the product key to this topic. If there is no sticker, he can be preinstalled on your system BIOS.

    See the suggestions posted by Andre Da Costa replied on March 7, 2013.

    If the problem persists, you can contact the manufacturer of the hardware for the same thing and check.

  • Prevent Seagate hard drive possible breaks down!

    If your computer was purchased in 2008 and early 2009 and provided with a Seagate hard drive, you should read the next document in support of HP:

    Prevent disk errors not system on computers with Seagate drives

    Basically, under certain conditions the firmware of the drive can fail. It may work well for some time, but then crash later because certain conditions arise on the PC.

    To avoid a possible crash, download and install SP40966 from HP.

    Once opened, it will tell you if a player needs updating.

    If you have a player who needs the updated firmware, it will prompt for a blank disc.

    He then burns a disc that you leave in the drive and restart.

    It updates the firmware automatically. On some PCs/versions, you will have to perhaps enter and change SATA to IDE in the BIOS - I have not. I used the update on an IQ506 and the update went well.

    My problem has been resolved. I downloaded the update yesterday and installed without any problems. The closure of the issue.

  • Dv7 HP Envy notebook: replacement doesn't have a hard drive from 750 GB to 1 TB

    The hard drive failed on my laptop and needs to be replaced. I have a system on a USB flash drive recovery.  The failed drive is Samsung model ST750LM022. Can I substitute 1 compatible drive to or do I have to use the same size as the original drive? After the physical installation, what is the process of re - install the system recovery USB disk? Any detailed help will be very appreciated.

    A drive of 1 TB replacement inherited or a 500 GB SSD will work fine.

    I highly recommend the SSD because it will boost the performance of your laptop.

    To reinstall the operating syustem is a matter of plug in the USB first, by pressing the button of power and then immediately pressing the ESC key. Who will call the start menu. In the start menu, choose F9 to boot options. Choose the flash drive to boot from, and who should call the HP Recovery Manager. Watch the video below for more details.

  • Satellite U840W - replacement SSD with current hybrid HARD drive

    I have this model U840W with a hybrid HARD drive (500 GB + 32 GB SSD cache), I would like to replace it with an mSATA SSD. My warranty is left about 2 months... I understand that if I open the bottom cover, the guarantee may be cancelled.

    Read the following thread:

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=68779

    What I don't understand is the "live in the mid under foot rubber", what is the best way to remove it? This seems to be the real challenge. A directive (preferably with photos)?

    Thanks in adv!

    Hello

    I wouldn't recommend allows you to replace the hybrid HARD drive on your own even if hand warranty isn't valid anymore.
    Why?
    Because the after replacing a drive HARD or SSD, RAID and TSRI (quick start of Intel technology) mode will not be available.

    To rebuild the factory RAID mode and allow the TSRI, special tools are needed and this can be done by the authorized Toshiba maintainer.

    So even if you would be able to remove the bottom cover and hybrids of HARD drive, the new inserted SSD would not be able to achieve the best performance.

  • Portege 3490 - new Seagate hard drive (20gig) - cannot install OS

    I bought a second hard Portege 3490 and the hard drive was broken. I got a 20 GB drive to spare by Seagate (model 92011). I have a USB and PCMCIA cdrom disk. I downloaded disk hard Seagate tools/drivers installation and launch the setup and set up all partitions etc..

    Whenever I try to install windows (XP Pro, 2000 or even 2000 Server), I insert the cd it works through the first step of the loading of the drivers etc, then as soon as it gets to the part where he says is now "setting" start ", where he would normally the first reboot, I get a blue screen error, it is usually the"Inaccessible_Boot_device"error message, but sometimes He won't say. I get the same problem with XP or 2000. The only CD that I have are version OEM of Windows 2000 or XP pro, not specific Toishiba.

    Please can someone let me know what this means? Is the disk hard not compatiable (my dealer says Toshiba it should be), or y at - it problems with the drivers, etc?

    Any help would be appreciated, I was stuck with this for centuries and make me desperate. The machine has no warranty dealer wants £150 just to take a peek. I'll happily pay cash for a working solution.

    Hi Rhodri,

    Check your BIOS settings to make sure that your list of boot device is set correctly and in the right order. Maybe it's that the system tries to re-boot during installation, but the bad device.

  • Replace the battery and the hard drive or buy a new one?

    My 2010 MacBook Pro has stopped working, close and wouldn't start even in safe mode. I brought in a tech support company and I was told that I needed a new hard drive and a new battery, which, as well as data retrieval and transfer would be about $480. I bought my MacBook Pro in 2010 is a little more than 5 years so I guess what is expected. The activity of tech support people told me that, theoretically, the HDD could last even 4-5 years and everything else on that they conducted tests the past. I'm on a budget, and $ 500 is a little money for me to spend, especially if I have to buy a new laptop in a year or two.

    If I can get my MacBook with the new hard drive and the battery still 3 to 4 years, I think it will be worth it. So, I ask you your opinion on whether or not it is better for me to replace the hard drive and the battery or buy a new laptop (probably a MacBook Air).

    Thanks in advance for your advice!

    If you fix the old laptop, you will be able to sell it on Craigslist to help put off the purchase of a new Mac.

    Otherwise, it is dead in the water.

  • How can I replace a compaq presario C762NR hard drive and reinstall windows?

    My friend brought me his computer and said that he would not start. I tried to boot into safe mode and normal mode and it would not work. It would simply flash a blue screen and restart. After you run a test it is determined that the hard drive has failed. A new laptop is not an option at this point.

    I bought a new hard drive and I ordered the HP recovery disk. What are the appropriate steps to complete this replacement?

    The computer is out of warranty and so is the hard drive. The computer has Windows Vista on it. The failed hard drive was 160 gb, 2.5 ", SATA 1.5 gb/s, 8 MB cache. The news is the same except that it is SATA 3 gb/s.

    This is my first time, replacing a hard drive. I'm confident about it, but I want to just make sure I do it correctly.

    Hello

    All you have to do after replacing the HARD drive is the following.

    Start Notepad and open the CD/DVD drive.  Insert the first disc of recovery.  Hold the power button until the laptop stops.  Press the power button to start the laptop that should now boot from the recovery disk and start the recovery process.

  • Seagate hard drive

    Hi all. Recently, I took an internal hard drive of 500 GB ST3500320NS from my recorder and put it in my desktop computer. My PC detects it in the BIOS and in Device Manager but not in my computer. In my computer, only the hard disk with the Windows 7 operating system is displayed. Please notify. I tried the Seagate sea tools for diagnosis, but there is no change.

    If you format the drive then you delete the partition and destroy the video files.

    Display of files requires the operating system located on the hard drive.

    If your choices depend on what you plan to do with the hard drive.

    Best regards

  • Seagate hard drive is bad. warranty of 5 years, but seagate says I have to go through oem?

    I have a Pavilion P6277C ({personal information deleted}) which was carried in the shop (aka my home: job from a friend/family). The user States chkdsk runs every time you start and takes 40 minutes to connect to windows if it opens a session.

    Shooting in car, watch TEST INTELLIGENT, fails, a lot of time:

    Car has a warranty of 5 years on this subject, but RMA on Seagate website said I need to contact OEM for repair. Given that this device is only one unit of one year warranty, how can I contact HP to get a replacement under warranty on this faulty drive? Or we enter the scenario "Yes, he has a 5-year warranty, but your computer is covered only for 1 year and you're out of luck", where the end result is that I buy a detail with a real guarantee WD drive?

    Here are the specifications of the HP Pavilion p6277c desktop computer. This system is old more than 2 1/2 years and usually with a warranty of one year. As the drive is an OEM unit it does the HP standard warranty of one year and no longer justified. I met the problem and the player has not been justified by the manufacturer or HP. best bet is to replace the bad disk with a new disk of detail that carries a full warranty.
