My machine case

2 weeks ago, my working harddisk suddenly crash ! or rather, totally undetectable !!!

And this happened when I was in despair and urgently need to work on some files from the harddisk. Damn pissed off you know...... ........ ...............

And damn sad also, when i realised, all my pictures from year 2006 is inside ! and i dun have any backup copy of it yet !!!! ^%#^%@&$&^%*&^ :( :(

I'm using Seagate Barracuda 500gig harddisk. And then found out that my batch of harddisk memang got problem with the firmware ! Seagate released to firmware to update it but how would i know ????? I'm not a tech nerd also !!!! darrmmmnn..

After some enquiries from 3 companies, I finally decided to send my harddisk for data recovery instead of sending it back to Seagate, knowing that sure I can't retrieve back anything from it at the end. It cost me RM943 ! I know its damn expensive, but I guessed i have no choice after all., coz even if its not for the urgent file, I still need all those 500gig worth of data work files from the harddisk...

2 weeks later, I finally got back my harddisk and tadaaaa ! all my files are just as they were before :) :)

Just when i thought the nightmare was over, which includde working on my laptop for the past 2 weeks, not that bad la..but still quite hassle to carry in and out all the time. Then when i tried to startup my pc again after lunch, my pc died..... .. after many many times, still, blank screen..______________ haihhh...damn lehhh...

Was almost deciding to buy a new DELL desktop and throw away this piece of rubbish, but then, I still have hopes for this little machine that had helped me for the past 2 years, I try to seek help. Worst come to worst, change motherboard and dunno what else la, but surely not more expensive than buying a new machine la...

Brought in to a friend intro-ed computer shop for diagnostic, but he didn't even plug in and see my problem, I just explain the current status of my machine and he said str8 away is motherboard problem... and, they don't sell AMD motherboard...haihh..

Passed by and saw this one computer shop at the same row of my new office, and I gave it a try. Brought my pc over, the computer guy said they charge RM10 for diagnostic, and also they don't sell AMD motherboard, but they can order if want...so okla, I thought why not just check first and see la. So the computer guy unplug everything, even took out the RAM slot and USB slot and then reinstalled in. And then when he start up...tadaaaa !! it works !!! :) :) :) According to him, was the RAM slot problem la..prolly i knocked on it while shifting the pc....

The checking only took less than 5min, felt guilty so I bought a USB mouse from him :) hahahahaa

Well, just thank god everything is back to how it was now ! :)

And i should start backing up my stuffs now ! now ! now !
