Direct MP3 Download: Podnutz Daily #52 – Missed the 50th Episode Anniversary
Thank you to all of you who submitted suggestions
for recovering data that has been overwritten.
I appreciate your effort.
Unfortunately, none of them worked
because I overwrote to the same sector.
Going to try Data Doctors after the show
as a last-ditch effort

The customer was very understanding
and is not going to kill us over it.
Dell PowerJack Fix on an Inspiron 5150
(yes, these are the ones I hate)
Too complex and delicate.
Overheat like crazy
Heat sinks get clogged up so much.
Very proud!
Soddering magic fixed that jack
Re-soddered all the leads to the mother board.
But would not boot up.
Tried other power adapters and the original.
No change.
It was simply overheating.
I grabbed my shop vac with a thin tip
and an unused big-fat paint brush to loosen the dust.
Using the shop vac I blew out the clumps stuck in
the fins of the fan & the clumps inbetween the fan blades
and blew and sucked the dust out.
Still all that .. had to replace the system board.
Dad replaced two sytem boards today.
One was the system with fans cranking away with no video.
The other system was completely dead
needed a system board and a power supply.
iPod Nano contest:
Tomorrow is the day it is given away!
CitizenX won the trivia contest
5 extra points were awarded to Barbra!
The answer was 13 guests so far in the podnutz podcast.
Barbra has stepped up to do the show notes
for podnutzdaily and podnutz (weekly)
.. just to help me.
Seems she likes doing show notes!
Leaf blower heat:
When I find out the results, I will report.
VoiceMail by Mark in Reno:
Mark says to check the power supply
in the CompaQ computer that booted with high fans running.

Voicemail from Simon Zerafa:
Heart went out with the overwritten data problem

Tip:
When you boot from the Ultimate Boot CD it DOES access the hard drive
BTW: the power supply is probaby dead.
