Title: Laptop Problem
Post by: GreekStein on July 10, 2009, 09:33:48 PM
Every time I switch the laptop on now it says 'harddrive not detected' and I have to unscrew the back and put it back again. It used to happen once in a blue moon and now it's happening all the time, really pissing me off.

Anyone know why this is happening over and over and if there's anything I can do myself about it?

are the screws holding the drive in still there? they can work their way out over time and it won't be held properly in place, happened on an old one of mine

Is the laptop in the right place at the same time? You need both really.
Hope this helps

you should also make sure you are in the correct location and that you're house is still where it should be

I fail to see why the location of your house is relevant. fair enough if it was a desktop but the whole point of a laptop is you can use it anywhere

good point, though you should clarify that you're not otherwise against people checking to make sure their house is still there, or are you?

I'm neither for or against it tbh. I've always believed it should be down to the individual to decide for themselves whether or not they need to check
