A magnet damages the Hard Disk Drive of the computer dramatically. Because a hard drive's hardware is a magnetic disk drive so the data get written magnetically to the disk. If the magnetic properties are reduced then your data goes with it.
So dont ever put a magnet near a computer :)

Generally, magnets will not damage a computer unless they are extremely powerful and are brought very close to the hard drive or other sensitive components. Modern computers are designed with shielding to protect against minor magnetic interference. It is still best to avoid placing strong magnets near your computer to prevent any potential issues.

Can computer damage caused by a magnet be reversed?
No, damage caused by a magnet to a computer's hardware components cannot be reversed. Magnets can disrupt the magnetic fields within a computer's storage devices, leading to permanent data loss or hardware damage. It is important to keep magnets away from computers and electronic devices to prevent such issues.
Will a dishwasher magnet you put on the outside of a dishwasher damage the dishwasher?
no
Is a magnet earaseing a computer disk a chemical or physical change?
The answer is physical:)
How is a permanet magnet destroyed?
Physical damage, exposure to extreme heat, or exposure to strong magnetic fields can cause a permanent magnet to lose its magnetism. Once a permanent magnet is demagnetized, it is very difficult to restore its original magnetic properties.
Will water weaken a magnet?
Water can temporarily weaken a magnet by disrupting the magnetic force between its molecules. However, once the water is removed and the magnet is dried thoroughly, its magnetic strength should return to normal. Prolonged exposure to water can cause rusting and permanent damage to the magnet.
Will bringing a strong magnet near a computer disk or videotape cause damage to the recorded information?
Yeah
Will bringing A strong magnet near a computer disk or videotape cause damage to recorded information why?
Placing a magnet near them for a short time can corrupt or delete the data; this also applies for computer hard-drives and some other storage devices.
When working with a computer you wear the ground straps to protect the components from what?
static, static can damage the things inside just like a magnet.
What happens when you put a magnet on your computer?
Your computer uses magnetism to store information. The binary code used by your computer to transmit information at the most basic level, 1s and 0s, are stored by your computer in the form of magnetic charges. 1s are represented by magnetized bits and 0s are represented by unmagnetized bits. (8 bits make up a byte)Due to this, putting a magnet on your computer may damage information stored in it, as well as possibly corrupting the ROM in your motherboard. ROM is the read only memory that your computer uses to know how to start up.For these reasons and others, I would highly recommend not putting any magnets anywhere near your computer.
Will a magnet on a case damage your lg vu?
No the magnet will have no impact on your phone
Why should you not drop magnets on floor?
It might damage the floor, and it might damage the magnet.

What to do if a magnet touches your computer?
Get the magnet away as quickly as possible and check to make sure none of your files were erased. But if you have a MAC it might not affect your computer.
Will a dishwasher magnet you put on the outside of a dishwasher damage the dishwasher?
no
Does a computer have electromagnets in it?
No, but there are strong magnets inside the Hard Drive, but they are not electromangets.Video - HDD Magnets:http://www.metacafe.com/watch/375515/strong_magnet_in_your_hard_disk/
How is a computer a magnet and how do you use it?
Computer is not magnet.You cannot you it like a magnet. You may have read it from some non real source.See the only place where magnet is is the hard drive or hard disk.and you can only take it out when you break your hard disk.
What is trace damage in your computer?
Trace damage in a computer refers to the damage caused on the lines interconnecting all the components on the circuit board. The trace damage will cause your computer not to function properly.
