HARD DISK NOT WORKING AFTER MOTHER BOARD REPLACEMENT

Mother board of my laptop had to be replaced. meanwhile i had used hard disk from my laptop as external hard disk without formatting. After replacement of motherboard i have reconnected the same hard disk without formatting. but system does not boot up to operating system.

I have this issue before, in my case, its ribbon cable issue. dv9000 have two ribbon cables the one that have broken is the long one, (connect mobo to switch panel). However there is other possibility that the switch panel also broken.
Try buying the ribbon cable first, it is much cheaper compared to switch panel.

You need to get some software that allows your Mac to read and write to the NTFS disk. There's a whole bunch of stuff out there, but this program has a good review, and you can try it for free. I would move everything off of your external drive, reformat it into Mac OSX extended, and use it for your Mac. You don't need NTFS anymore, unless you still have a Windows computer that needs it.

N900 Hard disk not working

Hi,
I had dropped my n900 twice and after the second fall it stopped working.
On giving it for repairs i was told that the hard disk is now corrupt and its not replaceable here.
Right now the phone can on dial and recieve phone calls.
I am not able to recieve or send messages or perform any other action.
The device shows only 60mb memory and even after putting a 2gb memory card no other function works.
Is there any solution to this.
Please help.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The EMMC is what's called SMT in tech jargon. (Surface Mount Technology) i.e it's soldered to the surface of the board rather than having pins that go through holes. Makes it extremely difficult if not impossible to remount. There's probably someone out there who could resolder it, I've heard rumor of a company that can resolder the USB port when that comes adrift, I'm not sure who it is though. I don't think it's possible to run the O/S from MMC either.

The same thing is happening to me... After the HDD goes to sleep, when you goto access it again you can hear it spin up but you still can't access it at all.

DV9700 Volume Controls not working after motherboard replacement

I have a HP Pavilion DV9702ea, which I've had for just over two years now. It worked absolutely fine for me in every way since I got it until about one month ago when I installed some software that required me to restart Windows. The laptop shutdown but did not restart. I tried to switch it back on but it would not work - when I pressed the power button the power light would blink for perhaps half a second but that was it. After some internet searching I ascertained that this is a symptom of a common problem with these laptops and that it suggested that the GPU had failed, which meant I needed a new laptop.
So I ordered a new laptop using the model number shown on the sticker near the RAM ports. It arrived and I installed it. Now my laptop is fully working again - all except for the volume controls. On the control panel above the keyboard, all of the QuickPlay keys (Q, DVD, previous, Play/Pause, next and stop) are illuminated but the volume control keys (mute, - and +) are not. I have Windows Vista installed with the correct audio driver and it does not respond to me pressing these keys, so it's not just that they're not lit up, they're not working at all.
I've tried everything that I can think of to fix this - as far as I'm concerned it should not be a software issue, because these keys are supposed to be illuminated from power-on, so even without a hard drive or an operating system installed these keys should be lit up. Nevertheless I've tried making sure all the audio, QuickPlay, QuickLaunch and QuickTouch drivers are up to date and have tried alternate drivers for all of them. I've checked the cable leading from the motherboard to the controls - it appears to be intact, but I even ordered a replacement just in case and that has made no difference. I've extensively Googled the problem and the most promising fix that I could find (that is repeated on these forums several times) was to power off the laptop, remove the mains adapter and battery, hold the power button down for 30 seconds to discharge any static and then power on again. I've tried that a few times and it has not fixed the problem in my case.
So I'm at a loss now. My last resort will be to return the motherboard for a replacement, but that will obviously be a lot of hassle for me as I'll have to strip down the laptop to remove it and I'll be without a working laptop for a day or so. And then, if it's not a motherboard fault, I'll have put a lot of effort into not getting anywhere. So is there anything else I should try?
Any help would be much appreciated.

External hard-disk not working with firewire under Snow Leopard

Hi. I have a LaCie d2 external hard-disk that has Firewire 800, 400 and usb2. I previously used it on my old (angle-poise) iMac connecting using the Firewire 400 socket. I've just a got a new mac with Snow Leopard and I thought it would we best to connect to the LaCie with Firewire 800. However when I do this, the disc mounts ok, but browsing in the Finder is really slow and copying files from the disk to the imac seems to work at a really slow rate (less than USB1 speed) if at all ! However, I switched to using the USB2 connection instead and it works like a dream. What gives ? Is Firewire in Snow Leopard buggy ??

There's no problem with the drive.
Maybe true, and the drive would probably work fine with Leopard. One thing that's obvious is that Apple did make changes in the way that FireWire works in Snow Leopard. Many drives and drive manufacturers work well with SL, but there have also been reports of firmware issues by Western Digital and other companies.
Have you checked with your vendor to see if they are offering a firmware update for your drive?
BTW, I got a new FW case a few months ago while at a Fry's electronic store. The brand new USB2 and FW400 cables worked fine. The FW800 cable did not, but another cable came to the rescue. Just saying...

External hard disk not working

Hi, i have a hard disk that is connected via usb. It worked recently and still does on a PC but not accessible or even showing in iMac. Anybody know what i have to do to get it working again?

How is the disk formatted and has it ever worked on your iMac? I suspect it's formatted for the PC as NTFS which OS X will read but not write to. If you must share this disk with both your PC and Mac then you should first determine how it's formatted and if it can be shared. In the event it's formatted as most external HD's for NTFS then I'd recommend downloading and installing NTFS-3G will allow the Mac to write to it. You can find this at:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24481/ntfs-3g
If it's a simple matter of not being seen by the Mac then try resetting the SMC, don't be afraid to reset it 2-3x if the first time doesn't work.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Hard disk not detected after formatting bootcamp partition

I am using rEFIt (with OSX, Fedora 13, and Windows7) on my MacBook. I formatted the BootCamp partition (Windows7) using DiskUtility because I wanted to revert back to WindowsXP. After reformatting I rebooted my MacBook but I cannot get to see the rEFIt options. I used the Installation DVD that came with the MacBook, opened DiskUtility and I cannot see my hard disk on the available disks. Need help badly... Thanks!

The tests from the Assistant are not as comprehensive or reliable as the full hard drive test in the BIOS....tap F10 as you power up, go in there and find the hard drive test. Run the long form test and see what is says. It is not unusual for hard drive issues to start as intermittent and gradually get more frequent. If your drive passes the long form test you can fairly safely assume it was a one-time gremlin of some sort, but it is still a real good idea to back up. I like the idea of the online backup services and I will name Carbonite only because it is well known and not as an endorsement. There are several more and an external drive is also a good idea.
You cannot put off a reboot forever; you are going to have to confront the issue at some point.

Grey Screen on Start up and Hard disk not working

Hi , I was working and suddenly some popping noises came out of the hard drive. I tried to save my work but i couldn't because it got "stuck". I had to turn it off and when I restarted a grey screen appeared without the apple logo. It won't start up and starting from cd, safe mode, single user mode don't work. I reset the PRAM too and nothing works. I'm worried about recovering the data... what should I do? I have work there that i need!!!
thanks

thanks for your reply. I took my powerbook to 2 apple authorized technical service and both of them told me that they couldn't get the data using disk warrior.
I already removed the hard drive and replace it with a new one. However I still want to recover data. I plug the hard drive to my home powermac with a usb connector and using disk utility and terminal i was able to "see" the drive but not mount it. In disk utility the drive appears as 0 bytes.
I want to try using Terminal or Single user mode to mount the hard drive, and/or repair it and try to recover some important files that I urgently need. Do you know how?

External Hard Drive not working after installing mavericks

After installing mavericks, I hooked up my external hard drive,
and it would not show up on the computer. Tried checking if
it showed in utilities, also a no show.
Should I uninstall the ntfs software which is a few years
old and instal a newer version?
Looking for a solution which doesn't involve reformatting my nearly full
1TB EHD, please :)

I think I have version 10.8.6 of mavericks, not 10.9.

Apple Hard Drive not working after picking it up for a new LCD screen

I recently picked picked up my repaired MacBook Pro ( replacing LCD screen). It was weird because they didn't test it in front of me or anything, They just handed it to me. When I got back home, i turned it on. It shows the Apple logo and the loading screen. Once the loading screen was full , it would turn off automaticallyy. It turns out my hard drive failed. Even though my my LCD screen was damaged, everything else on the mac was working fine. this is also my second hard drive , which i purchased in August ( 90 day warranty up) . I feel like this is an Apple issue and they should give me a free hard drive. Is this possible.
The hard drive was fine before they started to repair it.

Hi,
How did you clone the HDD ? One-for-one or different method ?

Hard disk stop working how can recovery may new hard disk on mac book pro and i not have recovery disk the recovery is installed in soped hard disk

i have macbook pro the recovery is in hard disk and not have recovery disk and hard disk stop working now i want to change hard disk but how can i recovery my macbook pro can help me ?

"it shows macintosh HD OSX 10.9.5 but the hard drive that is supposed to be in the upper right corner is not showing up. So it is booting from that drive."
Ok go to "Finder" preferences and make sure the "Hard disk" box is checked.
That will make your boot disk show up in the upper right corner. You can tell it's a boot disk because all the files will look like this instead of just being blank files.

Lenovo A1 - Touch screen not working after digitizer replacement

After dropping my tablet and breaking the digitzer, I ordered a replacement digitzer from a company in China. (It took about a month to get it) After watching this video, I was able to install my new digitizer and it finally looked new again....well at least the screen!
But.....when I powered up my tablet, the touch screen wasn't working..... I emailed back and forth with the company and they told me to install drive program, and send me a link to a site with a video, this site may have contained more than the video, but it was all in Chinese and I couldn't figure it out even with Google Translate. So I started researching. I thought I would try and load ICS on it, I thought, "Whats the worst thing that could happen?" it wasn't much more than a brick at this point anyways.
I found this website that let me through installing ICS on it. I had absolutly no expectations...but IT WORKED!!!! MY TOUCH SCREEN IS NOW WORKING!!!! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!!
When I was researching for this problem, there was absolutly no posts anywhere for "Touch screen not working after new digitizer". So I wanted to share my experience.

Yea you are correct.....it must be a hardware problem. You must contact service centre of Lenovo and get help from there.
You can say thank you by pressing the star left to my post IF I HELPED YOU

The dreaded 3F0, "hard disk not exist" problem

Okay, I have a degree in EE with a minor in comp sci. I understand how bios' work, etc. This is why the "answers" HP "tech support" gave me make absolutely no sense. Could someone please shed some light on this bizarre problem? I am trying to install a BRAND NEW, WORKING hard drive in a DV7-6163 and the laptop refuses to recognize the existence of the SATA drive. I have tried this drive in another laptop and IT WORKS, I have tried other working hard drives in this machine and they DO NOT work. I have checked to make sure the SATA cable was good....yes! I went as far as to switch the connector from the DVD drive to the SATA port that was meant for the hard drive. Guess what, IT WORKS and the laptop thinks there is a hard drive installed (it even runs the hd diag.. no more "hard disk not exist" error!!) SO I now know that that actual hardware port is able to communicate with a SATA device. HP has been LESS THAN HELPFUL as they insist it must be a bad drive or bad main board (even after I explained my various tests demonstrate that it cannot be (why does the port that refuses to recognize the hard drive talk fine to the DVD drive??). So the only thing left is either a corrupted bios, or a major firmware issue with the code. Could someone please point me in the right direction? This was a very expensive laptop and I am ready to throw it through a window!!

Could you provide a link to the UEFI diagnostics utility? I tried to google it, but there are so many hits, it makes it confusing to know which one! Are you saying that the UEFI diag dos utility can bypass the bios functions? HP blatently LIES about the ability to access the advanced bios settings! How do I know? I have the Insyde H20 EzH20 tool. For some reason i cannot get it to work with my dv7 bios (it is RSA signed), but it works fine on my DV6 bios and allows you to access a plethora of advanced settings! Namely the SATA mode which I sorely need access to. How HP justifies not allowing a customer access to settings on property we own is beyond me. Of course the impetus must be they want to be able to charge us to change a simple setting. I will NEVER buy HP again! Twenty years ago they were a respectable brand. Today, they are all about squeezing every drop of blood from the customer!
