Any advise on cleaning and if hard drive can work?ĮDIT 2: Are there any professional services offered to extract data from blemished hard disk, like this one, in case I am not able to run it personally?Īs always with data recovery: Check your backup.

The hard drive electronics have been affected and internal speaker may also have been affected. What options would I have? Help!!ĮDIT: I have attached the photo here and you can see the area spilt in red circle. Incase there's a problem in hard disk or something related to memory, is there any way we can extract our work or data? I am scared if I am not able to extract my work in case some problem occurs like that. Next I tried again multiple times of starting the computer but then it gave some memory error. First it gave an error of "Alert! Air temperature sensor not detected" and didn't start. I tried to restart to see if it becomes fine, but the computer didn't start again. As that happened the fan started running very fast and made noise.
