Soaked HDD...HELP!
« on: August 21, 2012, 09:13:47 AM »
yeah im really stupid..naipatong ko yung naka-enclosure kong 320GB hdd sa isang box na naka-pwesto sa ilalim ng airconditioning unit namin..may plastic sa ibabaw yun box.

then about two days ago, i was having trouble getting sleep so i turned on the aircon..

the morning after, i found my enclosured hdd, half-submerged in water that was collected by the plastic bag where i placed my hdd. i immediately disassembled the hdd and felt disappointed when i found out na pinasok ng tubig pati yun loob ng hdd..i had to tilt it 90 degrees to drain the water. i put on the table and started blow drying it for 10 mins..i left it on the table and now its sitting on top PCs cpu case kung saan constant ang low heat temp..

will i still be able to see the contents of the HDD? the enclosures chip, the one with the USB port out was also half submerged and its now dry.

how long do i have to wait before i can try assembling the unit again?

Mahirap yan pag dumikit yung head sa platter AFTER nya matuyo; pag on kasi ng hard drive iikot ang platter, and nakadikit yung head, err...you get the picture.

But I would suggest that you back it up immediately or move the contents to a new drive while you still can. A water damaged HDD can become unpredictable, especially if the internal parts starts to corrode.
