I guess this all underlines the need to have as trustworthy a place as possible for any repairs - although I'm not sure how you figure that one out - or have a failsafe way of storing critical data.

For example, suppose your power supply failed but you didn't know it was the power supply. You just have a machine that's not working. You must take it in for repair but you haven't had any opportunity to remove critical data.

I assume that, in spite of any passwords, a reasonably good technician could view whatever they want.

I wonder if there is such a thing as failsafe data storage.
