[quote=\"markfch\"]But you've sensitive personal data stored in the harddisk, better take precaution before sending your PC for repair. You never know what happens inside those repair shops. For me, I only keep personal stuff on encryption devices.

Yes, need to keep the hard disk if the PC needs \"hospitalise\".[/quote]Rite, I know that those files we delete from the harddisk, even after emptying our recycled bin can be easily recovered using software easily available from the Internet.

Called the Dell hotline and did a simple check via telephone instructions. Suspects ram/motherboard prob. hard hard not harddisk prob. Getting a quotation for svc.

Any recommendation on where to repair desktop? If Sim Lim, which shop?


Our desktop died after DH tinker with it (that's the bad thing about staying at home during holiday )

TIA

I'm not really sure. He tried explaining to me what he did but I just can't understand. He was playing with 2 hard disks.
