Вы, наверное, сталкивались с таким событиями в your life when you had any problems or problems with the computer. One of the common problems is the failure of the drive. So, if the drive is not working, what to do? Well, do not throw the same immediately! You should always try to restore it, if, of course, it is possible.
First you need to understand what exactly is not working.When you turn on the computer, look, if a light bulb is on the drive, but it does not see your drive, it means that you do not receive information from the drive. That is, the power supply is on and the drive is working, but it does not transfer data to the motherboard. This means that either a bad wire contact, or it does not work at all. Try disconnecting and then reconnecting the data cable. If the motherboard is dusty, blow the connector as dust may interfere.
It is possible that the drive works, andthe computer recognizes it, and it does not open the drive. What to do? How to be? Do not worry much. This is not such a strong failure, since the main drive itself works and is determined by the system. If the drive carriage does not slide out, then there is a problem with an elastic band, called a belt. Need to change it. Well, or suffer and open the drive with some sharp object, such as a needle.
If everything is good, everything works, it opens,is determined, but at the same time the computer is dull, what to do then? This problem occurs when your system has a device conflict, and they work incorrectly and interfere with each other. Since there are several connectors on the motherboard (it depends on the model, since there are only 1 or 2 connectors on the old boards), simply insert the data cable from the drive into the other connector. In this case, the problem with the hang should be gone.
But if it remains, it means that your drivevery tupit and slows down the system. This happens when the drive is very old and works out of its last strength. It is better to replace the old drives, because over time they stop reading some discs and also start to hang.
So, for general development, I would like to mentionthat the "life" of the drive is determined by the number of recorded discs If you want the drive to live longer, then you should not record everything, or everything and everything that you can.
If your drive doesn't work at all, thatIn this case, the specialist in the workshop will tell you, because there are a lot of failures that can lead to the inoperability of the entire drive. And they need to be determined individually.
For example, what's more likely you got outbuilding electronics on the drive. Could burn any part on the board. Or it could break a chip or a fuse. There are many options. But, if your main chip burned down, then it would be cheaper and more reasonable to buy a new drive than repair it.
But, first of all, first pull it out andsmell it if it stinks. If there is a smell of burning, then it definitely means that something has burned. Then open it. To do this, unscrew the bolts. Opening it, you can determine which item burned.
There may also be a situation that you cannot understand why the drive does not work. What to do? Take to the workshop. They will determine exactly what the problem is.
If you do not want to take him to the workshop, oryou have no money, then take the phone and call some friend who knows computers, and tell him: “The drive does not work! What to do?". And hope that it will help you, otherwise you will need to buy a new device, or take your repair, which is likely to end with the acquisition of a new drive.
Do not waste your time and buy a new drive if the old one does not work. After all, they are not so expensive.
