Can't mount home partition because of superblock reading issue.

Hi everyone,

First I don't know if this is the right section for this issue, if not please tell me where to move it (if it is possible).

I recently had issues with my home partition when starting my computer, but a fsck.ext4 solved it. But Now, I have an other problem: the check of the partition indicates that it is correct, but when the system (or I) tries to mount it, it writes "can't read superblock" as error message.
I tried this to solve the problem, but it did not work.
Do you know hot could I get It to work?

Thank you for your help

Re: Can't mount home partition because of superblock reading issue.

What was the result of fsck.ext4?  What issues did it detect and what option did you choose if any were detected?
What command did you try and mount the filesystem with and what was the output?
Have you tried runing a S.M.A.R.T. test on the device?

Re: Can't mount home partition because of superblock reading issue.

I'm very sorry for the delay in the answer. I had many problems including internet connection issues...
After many tests, it turns out that the problems come from a contact failure between the motherboard and the disc case sue to a problem in the laptop case structure.
I just ordered a new one and we will see if it solves the problem. Do you know how I could solve the problem temporarily will waiting for the new case?
Once again I'm sorry for the late response and thank you for your previous answers.

Sone tin-foil? (yeah, did that)
A paperclip? (this as well)
Some folded paper to bend the case towards the board?  (once fixed a DvD power connector)

You cannot fix a loose connection with software…
