computer ?
long story short the damn inlaws was over and fried my computer. smoke and shit was coming out the power source. bought a new powersource hoping the motherboard wasnt fried but i guess it is. computer starts up but wont go past the first blue windows screen so i guess its fried. anyways i bought new computer but is there anyway to get all the stuff off the harddrive and put it on the new computer or is the harddrive fuked ?
Re: computer ?
Doesn't sound fried. Sounds like hard drive maintenance is in order.100hp honda wrote:computer starts up but wont go past the first blue windows screen so i guess its fried.

yes just want to get the stuff from the old hard drive and put it on the new computer. harddrive is probly still fine. im thinking motherboard may be toast but i dont know much about computers so i could be wrong. a large amount of voltage went through the house wires and thats what happened. so how do i use the thing you posted ? does it plug into the old comp and then what do i do ?hoofarted wrote:Here, $20:
It plugs directly into the old hard drive, then into the new computer via USB. They're a trick piece... I have 2 for cleaning infected drives.
Here's a link to purchase one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... -_-Product

BIOS - BASIC INPUT/OUTPUT SYSTEM
No, you take the drive OUT of your old computer and plug it in to this thing and then plug this thing in to your new computer. I also carry one of those in my bag. Useful as all getout. Not wasted money no matter how you look at it.
If the old computer makes it to a "blue windows screen" before dying, neither the BIOS nor the hard drive are necessarily toast. My
Simple solution. Always be touching a metal part of the case when you are working on it to be sure your static is discharged. Not really that big a deal. Yes, static can toast some of that stuff, but it's pretty simple to avoid.Tharrell wrote:Be very careful when handling it all especially the hard drive itself.
Static electricity is a bitch for that stuff.

Sounds to me like the only problem is that you let the smoke out. thats the secret to electrinic parts, they all have just a limited amount of smoke, as soon as you let some escape they never work the same.
Danny Graves works in the IT field, maybe he has smoke refill kit though I've heard they are pretty expensive, cheaper just to buy new parts

Yes, you let some smoke out. If Windoze is slightly booting, chances are you'll be fine. Just like Mojo said - don't go tearing into your PC on the carpet.

Always tripped on the phone modem - LOL. And I thought I started early at 300 Baud.
