    So I tried freezing the PCB first. It didn't help. Froze a whole drive. didn't help either. I decided to keep the drive in case I get a new PCB or a drive like this to replace parts or experiment to see if I can recover the data.

    It had 1 year of warranty. But it has been 3 years since I bought this drive.

    I have been using this drive for while now. It was detected as a 3tb. It failed while it was working. Windows freezes when I connect it to PC. Other live recovery tools simply detect inoperable drive.

    Thank you for your replies guys. Won't putting the whole drive damage the platters in it ? I am afraid condensation can damage the data. For now I detached PCB and will freeze only it. if it doesn't help I will try to freeze the whole drive as a last chance.

    Hard drive is 3tb Seagate sv35. It spins, heads move twice, stops spinning. It happened suddenly while my computer was on. it didn't fall. nothing happened that could physically damage the drive. it is detected by the BIOS as 4.1 gb drive. When I connect it back to PC windows starts to hang. task manager shows 100% utilization of other drives that I have on my system. Tried to change cables. sata ports, cleaning contacts on pcb of the hard drive.didn't help. Anyone knows what could be the reason ? Any help will be appreciated. Of course something that I could do at home. That's not my video, but my drive does exactly the same thing.

    it is about 2 mm. It gets a bit bigger or brighter from time to time. It is so annoying. almost unusable for me. I wrote to support. waiting for their reply as well. P.S the screen is so cheaply made. Maybe It looks cool, but when u start using it, u realize how cheaply it is made! Very disappointed!

    I bought Asus MX259H monitor a week ago. This monitor disappointed me a lot! First of all color reproduction is crap. The stand is ok. Actually pretty solid. But the rest (upper board) is made very cheaply. Yellowish tone of colors just freaks me out. Tried to calibrate it, but this didn't help much. Skin tone is much butter on my Sony TV. And after a week of usage that one White Sparkling Dot right in the center of the monitor came out. It produces colors in some way, but you can guess how annoying it is. I rubbed that spot. It disappeared and came back again. I pressed the monitor from back. Pressed from sides. Manipulated that cheaply made board. And that spot has gone. It looks like something inside the board was pressing the LED board behind the pixels or something else. Is it considered to be a defect ? Should I RMA it before it is too late ? I am afraid this can come back. I have never expected ASUS to make a crap like this! P.S RMA probably will cost about 60 euros ( shipping etc.). And RMA does not guarantee that I will not get another defected product. So I actually don't know what to do. Can that white spot come back permanently ? Is this considered to be a defect at all ? What is the best way for me ? Can I repair it myself if it comes back ?
