*gives hyjin hot coco*
See I'm too scared to do something like that. x'D But if you can get it to work enough to fix the problem and for cheap I say go for it.

Yum -sips hot coco-

I will restate my case on the hard drive. Don't do it, the read/write needle is super sensitive. Having it off by the slightest nanometer can cause it to not work at all. Hence if you are scraping a HD your break it and destroy the needle, the needle can't be fixed bc of the way its made.

the needle is on the head, the head can be replaced. The plates on the other hand are where the data is stored. if they are scratched, then the hard drive is no good. only good for parts.

from the looks of it the arm that reads the plates, is missing this tiny square thing. when that square thing came off it must have caused the scratches on the plates before disappearing completely. So the head is what needs replaced.

-taking apart an already doomed hard drive isn't gonna hurt anything. now if it were a brand new hard drive then yea.. i'm not gonna mess with it. but since its a hard drive that isn't working, i'm gonna dissect the bastard until i know EVERYTHING *u* -

ono the bids went too high at the last minute.. dk tried ;o;

[ml1201]

Oh well, at least you tried. Might you be able to find a cheap one on Amazon maybe? They tend to carry things for pretty cheap prices.

[Demonskid]

I wouldn't be able to see the codes on the hard drive on amazon. on there a 250GB hard drive is just that.

I need a hard drive that has the DCM that ends with: T2AHN and is from Thailand

[ml1201]

And they don't put those in the description? Man, that sucks. :/

Best Hot Cocoa Song ever OuO

@ML - On Ebay they are required to post a picture of the actual thing they are selling -they aren't supposed to grab the photo off the net- so I can just take a look at the stickers on the drives from those photo's and choose =)

[ml1201]

And I take it with Amazon they don't need to put the code in the description then?

[hyjin]

Mmm chocolate pancakes

[Lawtan]

...hyjin is making me hungry...

[ml1201]

lol and its a good thing I'm full from dinner or else I would be as well. XD But that does sound yummy, I've always been a pancake girl. XD

Amazon is very different than ebay in many ways.

if you search for Western Digital 25GB hard drive, you'll get the few different models that WD made, i could ask for a particular model and buy 5 of that same model and yet the codes and parts and stuff be very different. There is the model number, then you have the date, and then you have the DCM, the pin numbers, the patent numbers. Each one corasponds to the different parts and firmwhere and softwhere that is in/on the hard drive.

So even if I looked up, say the 250GB My Book external Hard drive and bought 2. The hard drives inside have the highest possibility of being made in 2 separate counties, and have different pins and dcms and stuff. Amazon is a place where you go and buy hard drives because you need to store stuff. if you use amazon for parts, its gonna be like playing russian roulette. The only thing the sellers will post is the model number. The DCM and other important things you'd need for part hunting is never included. Ebay you have a better chance at getting what you need.


So! I was bored and started looking for songs on youtube. I felt in an 80's mood (i was born in the 90s but i like some 80's music) and came across Twisted Sisters version of "leader of the pack" I always liked that song and their version of it soo.. didn't care for the music video though xD

But I googled their wikipedia page and saw that back in the 80's one of their songs was deemed violent. I looked up the music video and was questioning it. How is this violent. I was expecting someone being beat up and gutted and shit.. the only thing that happened was a guy kept getting magically tossed out of a window or through a wall by the soundwaves of a guitar

people of the 80's.. I kinda want to go back in time and show them some shiz from the 20's xD I really do.. Like maybe 'my hump' by the black eye'd peas or maybe 'super man' or 'drips' by Eminem -they'd have a heart attack over drips-

people of the 80's amuse me >w<

[ml1201]

lol, It's like how anime from back then was mostly sexual in content when brought over from Japan and put on adult channels, but now when a show is brought over Americans try to make them for kids. x'D

OMG I just remembered that my manga use to be on a different hard drive and I might be able to get it back if I use this one program called Undela! *u* I hope this works


This is why I love hard drives. -and why pedo's should hate hard drives- Even if you delete something off of it, it in a way still remains there and can be brought back using special programs.

WISH ME LUCK!

-its really a pain to re-download all this.-


Edit - *Q* Success! Now just to have the program bring the files back! <3 fufufufuuuuu
