Working with preamplifiers always includes some difficulties, because, practically, they can not withstand static discharges. If re-soldering is needed, one should follow a number of rules to protect a preamplifier from static damage caused by careless finger touching. Although this task is very risky and it should be done in a high secured lab specially created for this task.

 
 

Most hard drives will last for years before they start to encounter any type of malfunction or hardware problems.  You can help prevent data loss by turning off your computer when it isn’t in use, or shutting it down when you hear the hard drive making an odd noise.  If the hard drive starts to malfunction, letting it continue to run will only do more damage.  If you shut it off immediately and take it to a specialist, you’ll have a much better chance of getting it repaired.

Apple needs to be applauded for changing the game. Innovative designs have made consumers look at laptops (and other gadgets) in a different light. However style sometimes comes at a cost to substance. Take for example the rising cases of failed hard drives in MacBooks. A number of complaints have surface over Seagate 2.5" notebook drive manufactured in China to have an above average failure rate. Now this certainly does not put Apple completely to blame as Seagate makes the drives however Apple is the big name and hence gets all of the media attention. They just picked the wrong hard drive manufacturer to team up with.

Seagate probably experienced a "bad batch" of drives which should have been put through a more vigorous quality control check. I think it's safe to say behind the scenes Seagate has been kissing a lot of ass to repair this relationship. So if you own a MacBook and haven't experienced a hard drive crash as of yet, you should probably back up your data, now.
