I would love to help with this effort as I'm very good with my hands and
the whole point of starting this thread was to guage the practicality of
home hard drive repair, but currently I wouldn't have the time to embark
on such an endeavor, although at some point I will. I hope that whatever
tricks I'm able to pioneer with respect to hard drive repair will be
passed on in FAQs.
I've already noted the discussions on building a clean box and at some
point will be creating one. QUESTION: Is there a way to determine just
how clean such a clean box is after its built? Is there some meter that
can be hooked-up to the exhaust opening that will give you a particulate
count? My Panasonic vacuum cleaner has such a detector that triggers a
dual-color LED on the front panel: it lights red if it detects dirt
particles passing through the hose and green if the particle count is
below some threshold.
