Burned out Maxtor hard drive

[Rod Speed]

Why so unkind?

Its some rabid loony kept in a padded cell that
manages to escape from the cell very occasionally.

 

[Folkert Rienstra]

You have a database? Cool!


Duh.

No? How can that be? Babblebot wrong? Oh dear, oh dear.

I'll bet ya. Fuses protect against overcurrent, not overvoltage.
The fuse blows when overvoltage fuses some part of the drive, caus-
ing overcurrent. If you're lucky it is an overvoltage protector that
trips the fuse, else it is the shorted electronics that does that.

As destroyed electronics.

Nah, really?

Even with fuses there is a risk of that.

Gee, perhaps that's what they are there for in the first place, Einstein.
So it doesn't blow the rest up.

Why so unkind?

You're a Newbie, you are entitled.

So fellas what did we decide? I'm the original OP (moron) who started
this...what should I do?

You will not get a consensus here. Folkert objects in principle
to anything I say (and has no competence of his own whatsoewer).

Odie is worth listening to, IMO.

Oh, is there something to decide? Did you answer any questions.
I must have missed that.

If you still don't know after all this then you are what you say you are.
Buy a new external drive.

You will not get a consensus here.

Not as long as you are around, babbling your head off.

Folkert objects in principle to anything I say

Poor poor babblebot.
Whining and kicking like a child that can't get it's way.
So babblebot, am I out of your killfile now for good? Or how else
would you know that I "object in principle to anything You say".

(and has no competence of his own whatsoewer).

And who made you the judge of that, babblebot child.

Odie is worth listening to, IMO.

So good of you, to rule yourself out too, babblebot child.
(He did afterall say that you were wrong).

And no, he's not.
Odoriferous is just a spammer and a *stinking* troll.
What exactly did you not understand in his name handle.
