Solve : Opening a Hard Drive and removing its insides? |
Answer» Thanks to a new hard DRIVE my friend gave me, I have now made this video: Oh, the last few seconds of the video are hilarious.I don't get it. What's hilarious?CAMERA went boom? Also, the hard drive was broken and missing its circuitry. Good idea though...Cool! I commented70% success rate? Huh?I have to admit, I laughed because I could tell you honestly had no clue what to say for a second after the camera fell. "No! They've seen me!"Haha yeah, and because the stand my camera was on collapsed. I currently have another hard drive on stand by for JJ 300's idea.Oh, I've done that before, managed to corrupt the entire platter too Er, wait, is that something to be happy about? Victory over asian hard drives? Is that a win? The question of a lifetime... I know victory over an asian car is a win... But a hard drive? Anyway, whats funner than harvesting the magnets is actually pulling them from the metal brackets. Its like there attached with steel superglue. Oh, fair warning, there fragile, separate with caution unless you want magnetic flakes everywhere. And for the record, I've seen many drives with a single magnet. I think its cheaper if your coil is sensitive enough to north and south poles. Did you check out the video I posted with the musical read arm?

An author of a COMPUTER book I read did just that- apparently he teaches some hardware class- and he would have the drives open and sitting out of the PC, and the computers running from them. He was ABLE to add and remove the cover while the machine was running- and they still worked at least to the point he read the book. Of course- as he adds- he wouldn't trust it to HOLD anything important Quote Oh, fair warning, there fragile, separate with caution unless you want magnetic flakes everywhere.

Did you check out the video I posted with the musical read arm?Don't you think I don't know that by now? Lol. I've taken apart more hard drives than I can count. Only two of them had magnets that could slide off. The rest are stuck down with that glue. I watched that video. Not bad. Thanks, like I said, I wasn't expecting my laptop to do much. I think I'll have to get a video of how I harvest the magnets sometime. I don't have torx bits, just a dremel |
