After 8 years working with my computer, it lost its HDD. I tried to save the hard disk that was the container of my scientific and technical information during the years, but my effort was in vain, and I couldn't use the half-damaged hard disk. My great mistake was that I didn't back up the valuable and necessary files on a few DVDs before the hard disk was damaged. But it was not my only unlucky situation.
I delivered the computer to one of my friends who was an electronic engineer and had a computer workshop. He informed me the hard disk was not recoverable, and I had to buy a new one and then try to transfer the files from the old HDD into the new one. I inevitably took the computer back home, and after investigating my pockets, I found a small amount of money. I referred to the PC center market and bought a new 500 GB HDD for 10$.
I installed the new hard on the computer and after partitioning, installed windows 10. Then I connected the old HDD to the computer, and transferred the necessary files one by one to the new HDD. When I tried to copy and paste a few files into the new HDD, the old one stopped working, and I had to restart the computer and transfered the files one by one, that took a long time. Nevertheless, I couldn't save all the files, and the old HDD stopped working forever.
As I was tired, I installed a game and played for a while to find a new spirit! As I was playing the game, the screen turned black, suddenly!
I began manipulating the motherboard and its components while the defect was from the monitor, and this time, it broken down!!
I know repairing electronic devices, but at the time, I was not in the mood repair an old monitor full of dust!
I inevitably searched the internet and found a second-hand monitor similar to mine. I rang the monitor owner and bought it for 7$.
When I took the monitor (I tested it before) home and connected it to the computer, I saw the screen was still black, and despite all the computer fans worked, nothing appeared on screen. I realized there was a failure in the motherboard.
I back the computer to my friend again. After he did some tests on it, he told me that the motherboard needed to be repaired.
When I was leaving him disappointed, he called me and gave me a laptop and said to me; you can work with it until your computer is repaired. The laptop had no interesting software except the operating system (an empty system)! Also, its DVD diver didn't work, and I couldn't install a game on it, at least!
However, it is a few days that I have nothing to work on, except an empty laptop that I use to search the internet moody and aimlessly!
I neither have engineering software to model something nor python software to exercise programming or a game for entertainment!
At least, I hope the motherboard is recoverable.
