Question Data creation and writing to drive unaffected

[Oblivion77]

Dear all

When I took off the bottom cover of my laptop, to remove some hardware - I was nervous if I bent or harmed hardware in the proces.

How would you make sure, that:
The system creates and writes data to the drive, the same way as before I removed the bottom cover.
Data is created in the CPU and written to the drive correct and not corrupted or wrong.

In regard of my other thread:

Question - Concerned if damaged hardware parts when removing bottom cover on laptop

Dear all When I was separating the bottom cover on my laptop with a plastic plectrum. Without any problems I separated / loosened the bottom cover on the left side and right side, and most of the front side. It wouldn’t let go at the front, in front of the mousepad – I was missing to unscrew...

how? by testing

@Oblivion77 , you have been warned *repeatedly* about starting multiple threads about the same problem or worry. Do not do this again.

I am sorry, I thought the warning was only regarding securitym hacking etc.

This is regarding hardware and how systems work

Could you present some methods, that you would trust for this?

It's for any topic. Don't open up multiple threads for the same topic. You already have a thread about your concerns about hardware damage after removing the bottom cover of your laptop.

Why would removal of laptop cover impact a drive?
Did you touch the drive? Did you touch some other components?

If you were not careful, things you touched could get damaged.
You have to follow ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) considerations, before you touch anything.
Electronic components are sensitive to ESD and can be killed/damaged simply by touching them.

How would you make sure, that:
Data is created in the CPU and written to the drive correct and not corrupted or wrong.

CPU doesn't create any data.
It executes instructions of a computer program, such as arithmetic, logic, controlling, and input/output (I/O) operations.

I am concered if bending the bottom cover during the removal proces, impacted the cover above and the hardware parts.

Here is a more detailed description of what I did:

Not necessarily the drive, but one or more of the hardware parts that create data and write data to the drive.

Hardware parts that are responsible for creating data and writing data to the drive:
RAM / memory
CPU
Drive
MOBO

Did you touch the drive? Did you touch some other components?

Only touched the part I removed, which is the network card with integrated bluetooth

How would you make sure, that:

Thank you

If you touched only wifi card, then only wifi card could be damaged.

Forget about that. The question is weird (bordering on nonsensical).

I was pulling the southwest corner on the bottom cover, close to where the battery is located, I was pulling away from the laptop. I noticed, that the southwest corner on the TOP cover, where the battery is placed, was bending a couple of millimeters.

The southwest corner on the BOTTOM cover was bending a couple of centimeters.

The southwest corner on the TOP cover was bending a couple of millimeters.

I am concerned, of the bending of the TOP cover, of the the bending spread to the hardware parts.

Forget about that. The question is weird (bordering on nonsensical).

Would still appreciate, if some methods for doing this could be presented?

I have a file that was created in june and copied to a USB in june.
I removed the hardware in december.
I re-created the file from june on the laptop, re-created the file from scratch.
I compared bit by bit the file from june I re-created from scratch, and compared it with the version on the USB from june.
The two files are identical.
I would say, that this method is sufficient to conclude, that the laptops proces of creating files are the same / unchaged.

In which case, you know that everything is fine. Sit back and chill out.

If you want to something to worry about, watch out for parts of Kosmos 482 falling out of orbit after53 years. There's some pretty big chunks up there and they won't all burn up on re-entry. They might come down on dry land and not in the ocean. Keep an eye on the sky.
