Compaq 516 Hard Drive
Replacing your main hdd is an easy job if you know the steps to take, of course! Your Compaq 516 contains a hard drive which contains your documents and other data that the computer needs. Because hard drives are sensitive pieces of hardware, they will fail you at any time for any reason! HDDs are manufactured in many different storage capacities and connection types. The type of hard drive that you would need to get depends on your laptop. The capacity size of the drive is all a personal choice as just about any computer will be able to accommodate any size hard drive you install.
Major clues that the all-important hard drive is in dire straights
- Your Compaq laptop may crash when you open a particular file
- On some older computers you may occasionally hear a tick, tick, tick sound coming from within the computer
- The computer shuts down randomly while in use
- Your laptop stutters or acts crazy off and on through the day
- It may get stuck trying to boot up and may not ever fully boot
