is there any type of gear i can buy that can read the data off of the actual platters from hard drives? Or is that only within the realm of "data recovery experts" with expensive pieces of gear?

I have a standard laptop, I think it requires 110v to run. If I'm looking to run the computer for around 5 or 6 hours a day, what size or strength (ball park figure, as I'm aware there are many different factors relating to power consumption) of solar panel I would need to do this? If more details are needed, let me know. Thanks.

The laptop has still 6 more months of parts warranty but the service center says it takes at least 14 working days to fix the problem. It is very difficult to give up the laptop even for 24 hours.

I asked this question yesterday and only got one answer, from someone whos answer was "I don't know"?
How or what does the finger tip mouse pad on a laptop read? We already know that it responds to the naked fingertip, that is given.
BUT, if you put a very very thin knit cotton glove on, it does not respond at all. If you use a piece of silver, it does not respond at all. BUT, if you use a piece of real gold, it responds just as it does with your finger tip. What does gold and a finger tip have in common and how does this thing work?

I'm trying to figure out how you can look at a document and figure out whether it was printed on a laserjet or inkjet printer. i know it can be done, I just don't remember how.
