| Have i Lost My Files?? Hi. Ive sent my laptop in for repairs. The pin inside where the charger connects to, has snapped off. Thus i wasnt able to make a backup as the battery died on me. Today,Ive just been told that ill need a new motherboard (due to yet another problem this faulty Advent machine has!) Will all my files now be gone? According to the techy, he sez its a "50/50" chance that my file are now gone with the wind. He sez this becuz he cant get in contact with the engineer working on it !!! What do u think??? Are my files deleted?? |

Are my files deleted?? A dead battery or a motherboard replacement should not affect the files on the hard drive unless you have incompetent people working on your machine.Techy does not sound like a tech as he would know that you would have to format the drive or physically damage it to cause this. |
