### AI overview

The author investigates an NVMe SSD that develops severe read errors, filesystem hangs, and resets after being moved from a coffee-damaged laptop. Kernel logs show repeated errors, while SMART data appears largely acceptable despite some warning signs. The supplied excerpt ends during the self-test investigation.

### Source excerpt

I recently inherited a laptop that was broken by pouring some hot coffee on it. When I dissected it, it was pretty clear that most of it was unrecoverable: the CPU was completely fried, and its thermal paste splashed everywhere on the motherboard. (I wish I took a picture of it that I could share.) There were however a few pieces that looked in ...

### AI overview

A Linux disk with bad sectors is tested using non-destructive badblocks scans and SMART tests. The SMART results identify the first problematic sector, allowing badblocks to be started from that location or from the beginning of the disk.

### Source excerpt

Dyski się zużywają i w końcu wcześniej czy później pojawiają się na nich bad sectory. Jeden z moich dysków ciut się posypał a że służy wyłącznie do backupów to mogę z tym żyć. Ale z drugiej strony jeżeli już będę musiał sięgnąć do backupów to chcę mieć pewność że coś odzyskam, dlatego postanowiłem zrobić kilka testów. Nawet jeśli nie naprawi to sektorów to przynajmniej zostaną zaznaczone jako uszkodzone i realokowane.
