What happens when we repair a Hard Drive / Hard Disc
/ Hard Disk?
Apex Technology provide a Professional Hard Disk Drive Repair and Data Recovery
Service. We have the specialist hardware to fix your NAS Data Recovery HardDisk / HardDisc / HardDrive and recover the data from the drive.
Although the harddisk undergoes repair, we never recommend using them again for
data storage.
Usually by the time a NAS Data Recovery hard drive reaches us it is the last chance to recover the data from
it. The hard disk undergoes repair purely to extract the data from it. We repair
all types of faulty hard disks, mechanical, electronic, software, virus, firmware
problems. We repair Desktop & Laptop Notebook Hard disk drives IDE ATA drives,
Serial-ATA SATA drive repairs.
When is it time to call a specialist Hard Disk Drive Repair Centre? There
are various faults that you may observe during the harddrive or harddisc operation.
Discs can go faulty, we have seen many cases including smoke, firmware, dropped
drives. This section contains useful information on diagnosing Hard Disk Drive
faults. Also included is a list of hard disk drives which we have fixed and any
useful data sheets on Hard Disk Drives.

Common Faults observed in Hard Disk Drives - Failure - Failed - Dead!
Defective Hard Disk Drive Heads
Commonly known as the 'Click of Death'. Your hard drive is on its way out, along
with your data. One of the noisy hd faults.
A common fault which is usually easy to spot. When the drive is initially powered
up, a logic check ensures that the drive has attained the necessary speed before
launching the heads across the platter. If the drive can not attain a 'Ready'
state, the logic is repeated for a pre-determined number of times causing a clicking
sound, after which it stops trying.Your NAS Data Recovery hard disk drive now appears dead. Do not run 'software' recovery
programs in this state. They cause Disk I/O read / writes, and this places increased
stress on the heads, which causes errors to be written to the disk, further decreasing
the chances of data recovery.
Crashed Hard Disk Drive Heads
The hard drive is most likely making a grinding and scraping noise. Think dentist
drill, its painful, and thats how it feels for your drive. Sounds nasty and is
stripping the magnetic coating off the platters. Immediately turn the drive off
and disconnect it from your computer. Then call us. Repeated use in this state
is rapidly decreasing the chances of recovery. The sooner we can start the recovery,
the greater the chance of success before it totally corrupts the hard drive data
platter.
Again, do not run 'software' recovery programs in this state. They cause Disk
I/O read / writes, and this places increased stress on the heads, which causes
errors to be written to the disk, further decreasing the chances of data recovery.
Hard Disk Drive Motor Failure
The motor spins usually between 4200rpm upwards to around 15000rpm in todays higher
end desktop drives. It is precisely controlled to enable synchronisation for reading
the data off the platters. It fails in two main ways. The first is fairly obvious,
it simply doesn't spin or won't start. Perhaps due to a power surge, spark or
incorectly plugging the power lead in. You can usually feel a slight vibration
or hear a humming sound on the drive when it powers up. If you can't then it is
likely the motor isn't spinning. Erratic speed variations of the motor may cause
the drive to take an extended period of time to come to the 'Ready' state. Prolonged
or repeatedly powering the drives could well cause further damage. Disconnect
the drive and give us a call for recovery of the data from the drive. Again, do
not run 'software' recovery programs in this state. They cause Disk I/O read /
writes, and this places increased stress on the heads, which causes errors to
be written to the disk, further decreasing the chances of data recovery.
Hard Disk Drive not seen in BIOS
You may wonder what the BIOS is? BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output System
and in simple terms it provides a set of instructions to your computer, telling
it how to start, and interface to the first 'Boot' device. When it has reached
the first boot device, it can receive further instructions from there, and eventually
load your operating system. During the start-up, the BIOS may have failed to detect
the Hard Drive, and therefore is not shown. First check all connections and try
again.
If it still won't work, then the recognition failure may be caused by a number
of factors, eg corrupt boot sector, however, at startup on your computer you can
tell whether the drive is being seen by the system BIOS. Power up the computer,
and look for the on-screen instruction to tell you how to enter the BIOS. Usually
this is achieved by pressing F1, F2 or DEL keys. Examine the menus for options
on viewing the BIOS IDE peripheral setup and set your BIOS to automatically detect
IDE drives. On some BIOSes there is an option to "automatically detect hard
drives now". If you run this option and the computer 'hangs' or appears inactive
for a a minute or more then it is likely that your Hard Disk Drive had failed
to be recognised by the system BIOS.
Power Surge, Reversed Polarity, Power Supply plugged in the wrong way around
This is a frequent occurence - particularly plugging the power lead in the wrong
way around. Despite the shape of the molex connector, the cheaper versions are
often made of soft plastic and can easily be plugged in incorrectly. Often this
results in the drive appearing totally dead with no noise coming from the motor
and an unpleasant burning smell. Similar faults occur when a mains power surge
can damage the computer motherbaord and hard drive circuitry. Immediately unplug
the computer from the mains supply and withdraw the hard drive to a safe place
until recovery can take place.
