I recently had a laptop brought down for not working. It had no cosmetic issues that looked like it had dropped however the student had noticed that when the laptop was shook… violently shook, it sounded like there was loose parts inside. I pulled the drive out to see if I could recover any data off of it and noticed that the sound was coming from the hard drive. I immediately knew something was very wrong and that chances of recovery were slim to none. Told the student I would try and sent him off.
I then took the hard drive apart… and all of my years experience I have not seen this first hand yet. The platters were shattered.
I have stripped the sound because names were mentioned. It also took me a minute to find the screw under the sticker.
