RAJE's PC
Mood:
a-ok
Topic: work
Rico yesterday reported to me that RAJE's PC #1 (used for downloading Rover files from the billing system) is not detecting its hard disk. He told me that he tried the hard disk on his PC and it was working, and that the RAJE PC didn't detect another HD that he tried on it.
So I opened up the case and tried the secondary IDE connection but it wouldn't work also.
Upon further inspection, I found some moist, sooty dirt all over the motherboard, so I cleaned it out with WD-40.
After around 16 hours (late morning of today), I tried it again, and it was STILL not detecting its original HD, but it detected another HD which is a non-working one AFAIK.
I therefore conclude that we need to replace the unit (the whole box) because it might have already been damaged way beyond recovery -- it might even damage hard disks in its current condition.
