Shocks from my Computer Harddrive
Okay I was stoping my fan in the back of my compter harddrive with a metal rod because it was making a funny noise . All of a sudden a spark comes out the fan opening and my computer harddrive just shut off. My computer hardrive will not turn on and I was wondering is there any solution on fixing my computer hardrive and getting it to turn back on.

If you were stopping the fan for a long time, then it's probably overheating. Putting it in the freezer will probably ruin it, though; like putting a hot glass in the freezer, it will shatter. It may be permanently broken, but just leaving the computer sit for a day will cool it down.
If the metal rod hit something, it could have "zapped" your hard drive, in which case it's completely ruined.

Well, what i think happened is when you put the metal rod in it probably overheated your whole hard drive and turned it of. Your fan is what keeps it from overheating, and im guessing that when you touchd it it probably turned off and since it was metal with eletricity it probably over heated. I siggest you take out your hard drive and place it in a cool area for a little while. Maybe stick it in the fridge or the freezer but put it in a water proof bag or a ziplock baggy so it doesnt get wet and breal. If it doesnt work, then i mvery sorry. I hope i helped!

yeah, open up your computer, take out the hardrive, leave it somewhere cold for a while. if you are carefull, put it in a ziplock bag, and leave it in the freezer for a while, then put it back in. then, take out the metal rod, and fix your fan. the fan is what keeps your computer from overheating, which is what happened.
