Hi choochoochooseyou, if your computer or drive works fine for a while, then the circuit board is working ok. If the clicking sound starts later, it is most likely some kind of internal drive issue. I would recommend backing up your important data asap.
what if my dropped hard drive is just producing this sound where you hear the disc inside turning loudly? there's no clicking sound it's just really loud and then it stops after a while. and my files don't get detected by the computer, altho there's this sound when you insert a usb into the computer. idk, i need help please? :(
Great guide. My desktop actually boots up fine. But anywhere between 2-20 mins I hear a single click as opposed to the multiple clicks in your demo, the drive light stops, I get 'no signal' on my monitor. Fan still spins, tower still lit up. Does that sound like the click you describe? Thank you.
If your drive is slow but still working, then the circuit board is working fine, but the hard drive could be close to death. I recommend backing up your important data asap. After that you can check for software problems / viruses etc, or replace the hard drive if necessary.
Hey, I have a Samsung hard drive that I have taken out of it's case I tried plugging it directly into my PC but it doesn't work also Whenever I plug it in it beeps a few times do you know what the issue is and it possible for me to fix it?
I recommend opening the external enclosure first and see which hard drive is inside the enclosure. Some models have firmware issues that cause the drive to be not detected. You can email us the model number for a faster response.
My External HD is a Verbatim and it not doing any clicking sounds. I can hear it spinning but my computer is not detecting it and I've tried different USB cords it wont detect it. I am just wondering if the circuit board is fried. I have not dropped it at all. Maybe just needs a new circuit.
what if 1 & 2 are true, also drive feels like holding an electro magnet very wobbly, is there any way to recover data or is it lost for good at this point?
In my case ......when i tried to start my laptop ...it wi start with clicking sound .... i have to press the power button for three to four times in order boot smoothly...can u tell me the problem of my laptop...

My hard drive's sound is much louder, sounds much worse. Does it mean that
ReplyDeleteI can;t repair it..?
How do you know if it's the circuit board and not something else that needs
ReplyDeleteto be replaced??

my computer became very slow and it is giving a sound on direct power off
ReplyDeletepressing the button on laptop . wht could be the reason
Isn't it bad to take out a hard drive that's screwed into it's slot?
ReplyDeleteBecause my hard drive is screwed in :O
I would like to know how you came to the conclusion that it was the board
ReplyDeletethat was the problem? I am having that same issue with a maxtor hard drive.
Beeping drives usually have some motor damage. Was the drive dropped?

No, replacing the circuit board does not affect the data on your drive.
ReplyDeletehey, that sound in the back... 4:55 is that a monkey?

replacement of circuit board - causes loss of data or not ?
ReplyDeletewhat if 1 & 2 are true, also drive feels like holding an electro magnet
ReplyDeletevery wobbly, is there any way to recover data or is it lost for good at
this point?
No unfortunately not. Some of the newer drives even need a ROM chip swap,
ReplyDeleteeven if all the model numbers etc. match up between two drives.
can i put a different PCB which fit the hard drive but is not from the same
ReplyDeletemanufacturer or brand?
What does it mean if my hard drive can't be recognized from where it came
ReplyDeletefrom
In my case ......when i tried to start my laptop ...it wi start with
ReplyDeleteclicking sound .... i have to press the power button for three to four

How do you tell if its the circuit board or actual hard drive mechanism?
