Will a magnet damage a computer?
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 :)
What is the name of the liquid magnetic substance?
Hard magnet
When does the magnetic domain in a magnet produce a weaker magnet?
heated or dropped on a hard surface
Does heat weaken in a magnetic field?
No it doesn't, but a magnetic attraction weakens in heat, or if a magnet is hit hard on any surface
Can a magnet not be magnetic?
if it truly is a magnet, than no. however, you can demagnetize a magnet by dropping it or hitting it really hard to rearrange the domains within the magnet. Domains are the regions within a magnet that have particles that are either arranged so that the poles are attracted to each other or randomly arranged so that the particles are not magnetized at all. so if it is a magnet... it probably will be magnetic unless you take your anger out on it or something.
Can magnetic field from a magnet destroy laptop hard drive?

Is an iMac magnetic?

What is the difference between soft and hard magnets?
A soft magnet's magnetic field can be broken easily. A hard magnet's magnetic field can not be broken easily.

What might happen if you drop a permanent magnet or strike it hard?
A permanent magnet may become unmagnetized because a shock it will have.
Can a magnet completely format hard drive?
no
Does a computer have a magnet in it?
The Hard Disk Drive (HDD) may very well have a magnet in it provided that it is not a Solid State Drive (SSD) or any other form of a hard drive.

No it doesn't, but a magnetic attraction weakens in heat, or if a magnet is hit hard on any surface
Can computer be fix after someone puts magnet on top of it lap top?
I don't know why a magnet would harm a laptop computer, some repair techs even us magnetic screwdrivers when working on laptops. I guess if you were to place a strong magnet next to the hard drive it might harm it.
How does the hard drive store data?
Magnetic Storage
