[13:36:38] <DeathWolf> sigh
[13:36:46] <DeathWolf> so my bro is with us on holidays
[13:36:58] <DeathWolf> and his portable hdd stops working
[13:37:02] <DeathWolf> I open it
[13:37:12] <DeathWolf> find a god damn SEAGATE disk in it
[13:37:17] <DeathWolf> (momentus 5400.6)
[13:37:27] <DeathWolf> and the piece of shit is beeping without even spinning anything
[13:37:34] <JEEB> >_>
[13:37:40] <JEEB> sounds like QUALITY
[13:37:43] <DeathWolf> instantly goes beep every .5s or so
[13:37:45] <DeathWolf> so
[13:37:47] <DeathWolf> I look closely
[13:37:50] <DeathWolf> "MADE IN CHINE"
[13:37:57] <DeathWolf> RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG RAEG

[13:38:04] <JEEB> I have a half-broken portable hdd here that my friend asked to take a look at
[13:38:06] <DeathWolf> *CHINA
[13:38:12] <JEEB> prolly something rather similar
[13:38:20] <DeathWolf> since it doesn't even spin
[13:38:26] <DeathWolf> I'm thinking it's probably the board
[13:38:31] <DeathWolf> that's gone wonky wonky
[13:38:35] <JEEB> quite possible
[13:40:29] <DeathWolf> now I need to find an hdd with same model & fw...
[13:40:59] <marcan> DeathWolf: beeping usually means the platters are stuck
[13:41:36] <Starwhite> freeze it
[13:44:50] <DeathWolf> already done, no help so far
[13:45:03] <DeathWolf> doing it again
[13:46:08] <DeathWolf> I wonder how dangerous it would be to open the cover and try to see if things are stuck inside
[13:46:23] <DeathWolf> there's this big stigma on opening hdds that it'll kill them very fast

[13:56:03] <ender|> DeathWolf: depending on your luck, the HDD will work fine
[13:59:20] <twnqx> did he roll over it?
