You Need Computer Repair and Computer Support People Around You

Everybody needs a computer support person. From small to big business, computers break and that's a fact. It's always good to have your own technician that you could call.
Do you have one? A trusted friend is not the same as having a certified engineer at your service.

I believe having one at hand is as important as having your own doctor.

You never know when you will need one.

While computers are mostly very stable, from time to time you do get a bug (also known as an error).
A computer bug is usually a term used to describe a computer error, flaw or mistake that id performed during certain calculations. Such error (bug) can be caused by several of the different reasons. Most common are viruses but from time you also get them from incorrect code in the software.
Computer programmers are humans too and they do make mistakes from time to time. Most of the time software programmers release beta version of their programs so that all the bugs would come out during the testing part of the software rather then final release version.
Those bugs can cause your hard drive to under-perform or die on you. As sad as it is it personally happened to me I lost 320gb of data. (I did not have a backup) It took me some time to get all my software back by visiting manufacture and re-downloading everything.
Since I had no backup all my pictures were lost I do not know what other data was on my disk but I sure miss it.

I even tried to take it apart to see if I could fix it. It was a bad idea as defected hard drives should never be opened as there is bunch of mechanical part.
Plus you need a dust free room or something like that. From what I heard it needs to be extremely clean and has to have some sort of medical level of clean.
Needless to say I lost it.

Lesson learned never try to do everything DIY (do it yourself) It not always pays off.

But that's life you win some and you lose some.
Maybe next time If something break with my PC I will have more luck fixing it but is it really worth trying? I don't thinks so that's why from now on when my staff breaks I take it to the professionals experienced with the fixing particular technology.
