Introduction

The hard drive is a piece of hardware that stores and retrieves data in your computer. A failing hard drive can cause your laptop to produce clicking noises, and/or continuous crashes with error messages like “file not found” and blue screen error on a Windows computer, also called *the Blue Screen of Death. In some cases, your computer may not boot.

Prior to starting this repair, power off your device and unplug it from all external power supply.
