The physical failure thread

Frick · Dec 29, 2012, 12:18 AM

Yes we have a place for shitty (as in filthy durty nasty) computers. I thought we should have one for just broken things as well. Because I broke something just now and that would be a goood place to start it off with!

Yeah the case just came off leaving the stick in the port. A bit of shaking later and the lovejuice came out. It wouldn't be the end of the world if the memory was working, but it doesn't. Windows sees it as a Media reader without readable media inserted in it. I've looked it over with a small magnifying glass but I see no physical damage at all.

I think I'm in the RMA period still though, so I'm sending this baby back and hoping I get a new one because it has been pretty well done even though I lost the cap a few weeks after purchase.

Oh and while it's fun to post endless posts about other peoples misfires, I think a good idea would be to post the stuff we come across ourselves. I know some people here work in the fixing things departments off the world, and some of us might have a tendency to break stuff on our own. This thing I wasn't exactly involved with, but how about that time I botched a soldering mod on an old Asrock DS2 but still made it working? You never got to see that!

So yeah. 'ello

I call this sequence of photos "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, silicon to silica"

This drive failed me. it wouldnt power up any more.

It failed at stopping .22 rounds as well, but did play nice with the sand.

FAAAAAIIIIIIL at stopping bullets

Does my ass look fat/exploded in this?

Warranty wasnt accepted due to illegible serial number. i told them i didnt cover the drive holes (and added more), to no avail

Due to .22 failure, moved data recovery procedure to a .308

aim was off :/

Windows has detected bad sectors

nothing wrong here. move along.

final shot to challenge the USB drive in the OP:

Frag Maniac · Dec 29, 2012, 12:44 AM

..and here I thought you meant you failed your physical. (cough)

Seriously though, I've read tales of those surviving multiple story window drops, being driven over by vehicles, and submerged in water. Never seen one broken, let alone so badly.

theubersmurf · Dec 29, 2012, 12:55 AM

My corsair voyager mini did the same thing, this is the interior:

It still works, but there's no enclosure for it, so I leave it in a drawer at home and use it for flashing BIOS'.

Norton · Dec 29, 2012, 01:02 AM

Great idea- need to think of a good example from my past adventures....

Here's a good companion thread to check out:

Your link doesn't work, or it didn't for me Norton.

@ theubersmurf Get some cardboard (e.g. of a box you don't need anymore) and attach (a) piece(s) to both sides, enough to get some thickness. Tightly wrap tape around it, with some of the tape being on the (plastic?) part of the inner part of the USB drive.

That sounds so ghetto.

I hate you now. How could you do that to this poor hard drive!

I'm sure that was kinda satisfying for you.

This blew up on me at work, caused us no end of trouble since it was for one of the main cool rooms, during rush hour (and kept blowing fuses til we followed the smoke smell)
