subject: Pcb/logic Board Damage In A Laptop [print this page] Laptops today have almost replaced computers for many people. They are smaller, lighter and today are available with almost the same amount of space etc as the traditional desktops were. Their smaller size also makes it more complicated to diagnose and repair damages that they may face. Laptops too use a hard disk but the components of this hard disk drive are much smaller than those of a computer. The reason is obviousit has all the components of a computer (mouse, keyboard, monitor, and CPU) all wrapped up in one unit.
A laptop, like a computer also has several components within it's hard drive. Probably one of the most important of them all is the PCB/Logic Board. This is what connects all the other various components of the hard drive. It is further made up of minute components. These components are highly sensitive. The slightest damage could have dire consequences. Generally when we have a problem with the laptop, we simply get a new one. If one's lucky he/she would have the chance to backup data. And if not then they just settle for data loss thinking that there is nothing that can be done. When damages do occur to a laptop it is best to contact a data recovery services.
If, for example, the header or the socket gets damaged. You would generally change the whole PCB/Logic board.
Understanding the cause for the problem will help prevent the situation from arising again
The system getting overheated due to either long running hours or fan not working could cause some connectors to melt and fuse together.
Improper soldering of the parts.
Use of obsolete components which work for some time and then fail.
There is no point knowing the cause if the problem has already occurred!! One should contact a data recovery service when they face such a situation. Such companies not only perform data recovery but also repair the damaged parts of the hard drive. They have experts who can diagnose the problem and either repair or replace the component of the PCB/Logic Board which is damaged.
Stellar Data Recovery Services, New Jersey, has Class 100 Clean Rooms where they perform data recovery services. Their technicians are well trained to perform PCB/Logic board repair, head repair and transplant, platter transplant, etc and to recover data from hard drive damaged due to natural disasters like fire, flood etc.
