2. Failure of electronic components - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_of_electronic...

   The damaged transistor shows a low-ohmic junction between gate and drain terminals. A parametric failure only shifts the device parameters and may manifest in stress testing; sometimes, the degree of damage can lower over time. Latent ESD failure modes occur in a delayed fashion and include: Insulator damage by weakening of the insulator ...

   If the filter fails to capture a dust particle, the particle can land on the platter, causing a head crash if the head happens to sweep over it. After a head crash, particles from the damaged platter and head media can cause one or more bad sectors. These, in addition to platter damage, will quickly render a drive useless.

   Examples are computer CPUs, graphics ICs. Computer cards; TTL chips; Laser diodes; Blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) High precision resistors; The notion of a symbol for an ESD protection device came about in response to the increased usage and failures of static sensitive components by then the computer systems manufacturer, Sperry Univac.

6. Brick (electronics) - Wikipedia

   Sometimes an interrupted flash upgrade of a PC motherboard will brick the board, for example, due to a power outage (or user impatience) during the upgrade process. It is sometimes possible to un-brick such a motherboard, by scavenging a similar but otherwise broken board for a BIOS chip in the hopes that the BIOS will work even halfway, far ...

   Motherboards are generally air cooled with heat sinks often mounted on larger chips in modern motherboards. [4] Insufficient or improper cooling can cause damage to the internal components of the computer, or cause it to crash.

9. Head crash - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_crash

   A head crash in a modern drive. Note circular scratch mark on the platter. A head crash. A head crash is a hard-disk failure that occurs when a read–write head of a hard disk drive makes contact with its rotating platter, slashing its surface and permanently damaging its magnetic media.
