HOW TO DATA RECOVERY FROM A DAMAGED AND BURNED HARD DRIVE.

The hard disk is a very delicate component, which can break and be damaged following a fall or a bad connection. As we have seen in the past, there can be various more or less serious hard disk problems. In general, to solve a mechanical fault, it is necessary to contact the Data Recovery specialists , to be able to open the device in a laminar flow hood and repair the damage.

In other cases, when the hard drive has suffered an electrical fault , you can repair it by replacing the PCB plate. In any case, it is always best to consult the advice of a company specializing in Data Recovery.

If you connect the external hard drive to an unsuitable power source, you risk burning the plate and compromising the device . In these cases, you could first damage the power tray of the case where the hard drive is located, or you could burn the PCB of the hard drive.

In the first case, in order to recover the data and continue using the media, you can simply remove the disk from the case and connect it directly to the PC as an internal hard disk . As the electronic part of the disk works, it is correctly powered and recognized by the system. Then you can use it and recover the files.

If, on the other hand, it is damaged the electrical hard disk plate, it must be replaced to repair the damage. In these circumstances it is advisable to find a plate identical to that of the Wikipedia hard disk, it is therefore necessary to remove the burnt plate and replace it with an identical one so that the disk starts working again.

In the worst case, the hard drive may have burned itself in a fire. In this case, it is not always possible to recover the data, because it is necessary to carefully assess the extent of the damage caused by the fire and the high heat generated by the fire. Flames can permanently compromise mechanical parts, damage internal components and destroy stored data.
