Repair4HardDisk Launches DIY Free Hard Disk Drive Repairs

Repair4HardDisk Launches, Providing Free Do-It-Yourself Hard Disk Drive Repair and Data Recovery Guides

Individuals looking for data recovery and hard disk drive repair services can now complete these often costly services on their own, with the launch of Repair4HardDisk. Repair4HardDisk features do-it-yourself repair and recovery guides for both 3.5-inch desktop and 2.5-inch laptop and notebook hard disk drives.

Hard disk drive repair and data recovery usually requires special and expensive equipment, as well as expert knowledge. But for those who don't have the time, effort or money to get professional support, there is Repair4HardDisk, a new Web directory of hard disk drive-related sites, featuring free do-it-yourself repair and recovery guides for hard disk drives (HDDs) from a number of different manufacturers.

"If you are having trouble with a hard disk drive and need to recover data, or even if you are feeling daring enough to attempt a repair, visit Repair4HardDisk for tips and tricks for success," says Werner Heuser of Repair4HardDisk. "Repair4HardDisk is the premier Web site to visit for otherwise difficult to find information about resurrection methods for broken or damaged HDDs."

Data is often very precious and should be handled with care by professionals. However, there are cases where individuals may consider performing the data recovery service themselves rather than pay for professional services:

* Professional data recovery services are often expensive. Sometimes data isn't worth the cost of recovery services because it can be recovered manually. In such a case, Heuser says, it's nice to be able to recover the data yourself for free or at little monetary cost.
* Individuals may not want to reveal secret data stored on a HDD to others, not even to professionals obligated to handle data in a trustworthy manner.
* Professional services may take time to recover data. If time is of the essence, do-it-yourself data recovery can be a time saver.
* People who are true geeks may find tinkering with a dead hard disk drive a strong challenge and measure of skill.

All guides available from Repair4HardDisk apply to both 3.5-inch desktops HDDs as well as 2.5-inch laptop and notebook HDDs. Repair4HardDisk also features special sections with guides that explain how to:

* build self-made HDD racks and HDD mounting techniques
* mount a HDD into an external HDD enclosure
* cover all the silencing techniques known to get rid of a noisy and disturbing HDD

In instances where an HDD has gone beyond resurrection, Repair4HardDisk also features modding ideas for dead drives.

"With a vast range of informative guides, Repair4HardDisk is a truly unique site featuring everything individuals need to know to complete costly hard disk drive repairs on their own," Heuser says.

Voyager Port - Corsair Launches - CeBIT

Corsair launches Voyager Port at CeBIT

In an effort to better market its flash drives as more than just this generation's floppy drive, Corsair has stepped up at CeBIT this year to introduce the Voyager Port. Put simply, this flash drive dock connects to one's PC and provides one-touch backup straight to whatever USB stick is plugged in.


By including the NovaBackup 10 software, the docking station transfers a copy of a user's hard drive to any USB drive (provided that it's large enough), and while you may argue that an external HDD could do just the same, this could be a cheaper option for someone who already threw down for a capacious USB stick. Pop down below for a look at the admittedly simple device.

Ultra-Thin Laptops - ASUS U/UX Series

Ultra-Thin Laptops - ASUS U/UX Series

ASUS has announced the U and UX series of ultra-thin laptops, expected to launch sometime in Q2. Both feature an illuminated chiclet keyboard and auto-adjusting LED backlit display. The U series also features a 15.6-inch glossy LCD and a touchpad that uses progressively fading lights to follow your fingertips. Under the hood, there's an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, NVIDIA GeForce G105M, up to 500GB HDD, and Altec Lansing speakers with SRS true surround sound. We don't have nearly as much information on the UX, unfortunately, but we do know it's sporting a slot-in optical disc drive.


Light and Light – Introducing the New U and UX Series Notebooks

An Intricately Crafted Series of Notebooks that Provide Both Contemporary Style and Effortless Computing On-the-go

ASUS, a leader in innovative industrial design, today presented the new U and UX Series, a new range of notebooks that celebrate contemporary styling and effortless elegance. Each of them a masterpiece so immensely desirable, the U and UX Series takes modern day computing to the streets, bringing delight to the users' senses and allowing them to work or play in style.

Immaculate Design for the Discerning Individual

The ASUS U and UX Series are designed for the modern individual who accepts no compromise when it comes to exquisite taste in high fashion and possesses an eye for the latest trends as well as the intricacies in design. Reminiscent of the streets of Paris with the evening fast approaching, the ASUS U and UX Series' newly-adopted illuminated 'chiclet' keyboard lights up brilliantly, not only providing users with the ability to type in the dark, but its subtle yet assuring glow also reminds the user of the star studded skies above. AI Light sensor technology intelligently detects the surrounding environmental lighting conditions and then automatically adjusts the brightness or dimness of the LED backlit display to provide a comfortable computing experience even in adverse lighting conditions. These features can be found adorning a softly contoured chassis, shrouded in a sleek and sophisticated glossy LCD lid and supported by a frame inspired by the curvature of a butterfly's wings.

UX Series – Gracefully Slim for Added Lightness


The UX Series' strikingly slim profile adds to an impressively minimalistic approach to avant garde notebook design. A slot-in optical disc drive helps the UX Series to maintain its elegant profile, while a contrast of matte and gloss finishes provides a sense of both sophistication and boldness.

U Series – Delight in Style and Substance

To further complement the illuminated 'chiclet' keyboard, the U Series sports an equally illuminated and interactive touchpad which sends a trail of progressively fading lights to pinpoint the location of the users' fingertips while delighting the senses. Powered by an Intel® Core™2 Duo processor which provides the muscle for extensive multitasking and productivity, the U Series is equipped with a hard disk drive of up to 500GB, providing more than ample storage for documents and multimedia. An energy-efficient 15.6-inch LED backlit display powered by a dedicated NVIDIA® GeForce® G 105M with 512MB memory provides users with stunning visual performance for presentations and entertainment while utilizing very little power. Combined with Altec Lansing speakers-equipped with SRS true surround sound that provides high definition audio-the svelte U Series is truly an all-rounded performer for any occasion or a night out in town.

Alarm clock with Hidden Cameras - Home-Spy-Shop

New Line Hidden Cameras from Home-Spy-Shop To Watch Your Nanny and Protect Your Children

Home-Spy-Shop recently announced the release of a new line of wireless hidden cameras designed for in home use that are so easy to use, that anyone can leverage the power that this technology offers. This new line is just one of the many hidden camera products offered by the Home-Spy-Shop store.


The latest advancement in hidden camera technology is the ability to record video directly to an SD card that is built right into the camera itself. This is the same type of SD card that most people are already familiar with, as they are commonly used in digital cameras. This card works the same way with a hidden camera video. You simply pop out the SD card, pop it into your computer and you can view the video on your PC using Window's Media Player.

While there are a variety of uses for wireless hidden cameras, one of the most popular uses is as a hidden nanny camera. As the dual income family is on the rise, many parents are choosing to hire nannies to watch their children during the day. As a result of prior horror stories of nannies who have mistreated or even neglected children while the parents have been away, the use of nanny cameras has been on the rise. Nanny cameras also provide parents with the ability to watch their children's daily activities if desired at the end of a workday.

These types of spy cameras are creatively hidden in a variety of common household items or even within children's toys, making them easily disguisable within a child's room or in other strategically selected locations throughout the home. For the best placement options, consider where your children would play or interact with your nanny during a typical day. You may need to work with placement until you find the most ideal locations within your home. The Home-Spy-Shop offers nanny cameras disguised as wall clocks, mantle clocks, DVD players, alarm clocks, baby monitors and even stuffed bears. Nanny cameras offer parents a proven way to protect their children.

"Most people haven't been aware until recently that they could obtain and use wireless hidden cameras within their own home. Now, a nanny camera can be used to observe your babysitter at affordable prices, giving everyone the opportunity to leverage this technology. And, wireless nanny cams are easy to set up and use," says Craig of Home-Spy-Shop about this new line of hidden cameras.

The greatest thing about this new SD technology is there isn't a requirement for recording equipment or software for its operation. So, the entire system is simple and easy to utilize, making it available to anyone in the market who is looking to watch their children and their nannies while they are away.

This wireless hidden camera line is just one of the many products offered by the Home-Spy-Shop online. Visitors can also view their large selection of all-in-one cameras, hidden spy cameras, bug detectors, dummy cameras, digital phone recorders, and phone recording software on the company's website.
