Basically i have my subwoofer behind my laptop quite close as this is the only place i can really put it in my room. I had a laptop that was in use 24/7 for about 2 years and the hard drive on that failed not long after i moved into my dorms and set up my subwoofer behind it. Is it possible that is what broke it as i read that they give off a magnetic field etc?
The laptop was quite vigorously used so the only alternative was that over-use killed it. Any help would be greatly appreciated before i get a new laptop. Thanks Guys! |

What do you mean? Vibration is very bad for electronic components. That's why in a car audio setup, most people don't put their amp directly onto the box unless the amp is on a part that is reinforced from flexing easily, and even then it isn't ideal. |

??? are you serious? HDD's are pretty resilient to external magnetic fields. The chances that a proper subwoofer damaging a HDD with just its magnet is slim much less a small multimedia one. I wouldn't worry about positioning unless it's vibrating the table a lot. |

what these dill nuts failed to realize at the time is that stuff like this is shielded for use with PC's....
the fact that he left his laptop on for 2 years in a machine that's inherently hot running and these drives were never designed to be used as 24/7 servers ![]() I's say you are safe and my Sub is right next to my PC in fact its only about an inch away |
