The hard drives rarely fail but how to encounter the situation when it happens is a big question mark.

What Causes Hard Drives to Fail:

Hard drives tend to get fail when the head of the drive touches the platter surface. It may be caused due to a manufacturing flaw in the actuator arm or the head. This in turn impairs the structural design or the integrals. At times, excessive damage happens, when the hard drive is operated outside the design parameters (temperature). The phenomenon of the head drive touching the platter is called the head crash. This result in total failure of the drive and one cannot get back the data no matter whether you have completed laptop repairing training or not.  

Troubleshooting Laptops Hard Drives

·         In case of the failure of a laptop hard drive, technicians replace it with the other. However, it depends on the laptop model number and the drive manufacturer. Some models have a small panel at the bottom of the drive that helps in repairing it easily. While, on the other hand, some hard drives must be open/dissemble in order to get repair.

·         In case, there is a software problem in the drive instead of a hardware problem a technician needs to give more attention. There is a myth that when the hard drive light stays the same way then it is related to the hardware issue but it is not! The drive is coordinated with the operating system for storing the data in the virtual memory when the laptop RAM has not enough memory. Hence, in the laptop repairing training, the student is asked to check the RAM and the required memory. If the laptop user logs into a number of programs and do not have enough space then there are chances for laptop drive failure.

·         Another important thing to consider is that a laptop technology expert will never install unnecessary background programs. Most of the background programs are installed automatically and boot up the system, out of them maximum are virus programs. If the virus programs are improperly configured then it may cause the system to reboot every time it gets a restart.

In laptop repairing training, students are trained as how to diagnose and resolve the above issues. They can use a recovery DVD to restore the data, label it, and store it in the right place.
