QUOTE(everling @ May 19 2012, 08:44 PM) . d hdd is in a timelinex 3820tg laptop dats powered by delta power brick (more o less 19V x 4.73 = 90W) dat came wt d laptop as default. d laptop (minus hdd) aged bout 1yr 6mths & not too sure whether power brick are degrading/aging You may RMA. If you do, please be sure to backup your data. There is a very good chance that WD will simply give you a new empty HDD without copying your data over. You also have the option of to not RMA at this time. Frankly speaking, while it looks troubling, the data shown in the screenshot are actually not yet fatal. Your HDD may still live on for a few more years without any problems. I am more worried about if the numbers are growing worse. If it is, you might have a bad cap ayam PSU that is sending damaging electrical spikes that is slowly destroying your HDD, and any replacement HDDs will also get damaged by the same PSU. What is the model of your PSU and how old is it? Is your hardware demanding more wattage than your PSU can provide? If you do not know, please use a PSU calculator that is available online.   . quite hard to calculate d power requirement when outervision psu calculator does not support laptop but kinda sure it has enuf juice to power up d laptop. how i wish i hv d kill-a-watt so i cud monitor d actual power consumption, handy item dat kill-a-watt  . but i guess now i will just proceed wt RMA. tengs for ur input anyw . |

Anyone knows if I can exchange at the store that I bought in Low Yat since it is only less than a month or I have to go thru the WD RMA service? normally shop will cover 1 to 1 replacement if item spoilt within 1 week of purchase. shop oso usually will handle FOC RMA for 1st yr of warranty. iinm Achieva (wisma academy) oso can process RMA for WD hdd. |
