Linda - Just to give a glowing testimonial to lightning computer repair for the swift return of my call, not pushy, even suggested I could go on a free download site to possibly fix my particular problem therefore doing themselves out of a job. However, when the chap came he worked solidly on my laptop and PC in a quiet and professional way with a cheery smile, even taking time out to explain things in a way a novice would understand. I would recommend them anytime.

Sarah & Simon - Thank you for your excellent service with our laptop repair recently, it was great to find you were available at the weekend too.

Graham - I just wanted to say how impressed and satisfied I was with your service. The name Lightning does not do you justice. My laptop died and the chain-store wanted to charge just to look at it. Another customer recommended going to you & Im so glad I did. I was sceptical when you diagnosed the fault, because the recovery software said otherwise, but the proof came a few days later in the form of a fully working laptop.

Hard drive firmware is software that controls the physical hard drive hardware in your PC or laptop computer. If the firmware of a laptop or PC hard disk becomes corrupted or unreadable the computer is often unable to function. Often the data on the drive is fully recoverable once the drive has been repaired and reprogrammed.  

Electronic failure usually relates to a malfunction on the circuit board of the hard drive. Your PC or laptop computer may suffer a power spike or electrical surge that damages the circuit board on the hard drive.  

Mechanical hard drive failure develops on components within the hard drive thus making data inaccessible which can be recovered and restored to your PC or laptop computer.  

Logical errors can range from simple things such as an invalid entry in a file allocation table to data corruption and loss of the file system on a severely fragmented drive which is why it is important to perform regular hard drive defragmentation software on your PC or laptop in Plymouth, Ivybridge & Tavistock.
