Ok, Hi guys.. it's almost 6am and i'm tired, so i apologize if i've worded stuffs wrongly.

I have a Seagate 1TB HDD that crashed/died.. Happened when I has to force shut down my PC because it froze/hung.

I could post a youtube video of how the hdd sounds like upon powering up. But generally this is how it sounds like
Powers up > Actuator movement (0.5s) > Soft Beep > "repeats" > 15 seconds later > power off...
CLICK OF DEATH! T.T

Any possible chances of repairing? and estimated price?
Any shops to recommend for data recovery/hdd repairs?
Is it even worth repairing vs the cost of it?

Thanks and much love in advance

Follow the guides, the Malaysia address is just another forwarder for Seagate, USPS to Singapore, somewhere in Subang.

Chances of local repair is low unless they do have the special room.
Seagate do provide data recovery but the price can be staggering, if your data worth thousands of RM and willing to fork out that much money for it then send through Seagate RMA and request for their recovery service.
If I'm not mistaken the checking process only is USD100? Long since I did research on it. They will check after you make the payment for them to proceed, then they will quote you a price for the data recovery, and it will depends on how much do you need to recover from it.

Send to Seagate done b4.......np

just post to seagate malaysia bro?

Yup open RMA and follow instruction. Provided the HDD still in warranty of course.

awww cant repair, just RMA, any repair shop suggestion?

Samba? Yes.

I use this method a lot via ES Explorer when playing 1080p videos on my Note.

Never used OPlayer before.

Not sure if any of the harddisk recovery companies in Malaysia would actually repair problem HDD. You could try speaking to them. Their services will not come cheap. Search for "harddisk recovery Malaysia" in Google.

If BIOS and OS can still see the HDD then there is a chance to still recover the data on your own. First you must know the SMART status of the HDD. Assuming that you run Windows on your machine, head to the following link to download CrystalDiskInfo, run it on your problem HDD and post the result here in the forum.

Is it worthy to have the os installed on ssd? Planning to refresh my 5 year old pc.

If you needs the boot up time and some application extreme fast loading time, yes, SSD worth every penny.
Is your signature your current system?
Please do read the guideline to optimize your SSD on first page.

yes thats is my current system. quite old right? lol.. plan to wipe my win xp and only use win 7 then.

For external 2.5 hard disk .
2.5 Western Digital Elements vs 2.5 Western Digital Elements.
Which one better ?

Hi

Thought you have RMA'ed the HDD and decided not to try anything on it.

Anyway problem could be due to HDD surface or R/W heads. In anyway, you should try to backup the data from the HDD using tools like PhotoRec on Hiren BootCD for the most damaged/stubborn files to get off the HDD. RMA is your easiest way rather than wasting time trying to low-level format etc. Just tell them the performance suffers too much to be any use for you.

Rgds,

can anyone help with this?
i just wan to take out all the data inside

i ask some of my frens they say just swap the PCB on it
but i cant seem to find the same pcb for it

already try to ask, they say waranty finish already so cant rma

Sorry to hear bout that. I hope you managed to get all your data.

Anyway, the first thing I would do is to confirm if it's surface related problem. Download HDTune free at http://www.hdtune.com/download.html and run the Error Scan function.

Read the FAQ here http://www.hdtune.com/faq_1.html

If problem is related to surface damage, you can run a chkdsk command from the Windows Bootup DVD -> Windows Repair command prompt. The command is "chkdsk /r /x". Windows will check on each HDD sector and mark the damaged sector.
