laptop screeching and not starting up!!!



  Audi S3 225
Hi, its my sisters laptop that is playing up she cannot get it to boot, just gets stuck on the post screen with a loud screecing noise, which i can guess is coming from the hdd, is it doomed? I read that professional recovery is thousands! Dont really wanna try anything again as it may damage the hdd futher.

Any ideas guys, can i remove the drive and put in my computer? will it fit??

Thanks

Allan

Buy a new HDD from eBay, you can also get kits to fit laptop ones into desktop PCs for a couple of quid, but be careful you get the matching interfaces

is it possible to recover the hdd, no problems buying a new one just some important stuff needs saving.

I would stay clear of pc world..

It depends whats wrong with your HDD, if its the controler card you could by the same model HDD and swap controller cards.. or you can open up the hdd and swap out the platters.. but thats very technical and not something you should really think about doing.

Buy a new laptop 2.5" hdd and fit that. and get a 2.5" to 3.5" converter so you can try it on you PC.
