The Hard Disk Is Not Recognized By The Computer The Needle Is Stopped Hard Drive

Chosen Solution

peace brothers I have a big problem, my life has been ruined All my work on the Internet is lost A hard disk is working, not recognized by a computer, and the needle inside the disk does not move, and the disk is internally circular But the needle does not move Yes, I opened it to see it only, I did not touch anything, before I opened it, it worked and a computer did not recognize it What is the problem, should I change a needle? I made a mistake, not intentionally, when I opened it, leaving traces of my finger touching an iron circle on the hard disk. If I wiped it with a damp cotton, the data would be erased.

Hi @anouarnahal Unfortunately there is no DIY solution. You should not have opened the hard drive. This should only be done in a “clean” room so as to prevent any contamination of the discs. You may have to contact a professional data recovery service and ask them if it is still possible to recover any data from the hard drive. Be aware that this will be very expensive

@anouarnahal this “a computer did not recognize it” would be an issue with the controller board of the hard drive, not the internals. This could be very difficult since the fingerprint of the platter can pose a problem. If you need the data, close the drive back up and send it off to a data recovery specialist as suggest by my colleague. If you decide against this out of whatever reasons, I would suggest that you look for a board for your drive and change that. You’d be looking at doing something like this Hitachi GST Deskstar HDS721010CLA332 Hard Drive Controller Replacement We don’t have any information on your drive nor do we have any pictures of the circuit board so we really can’t help any further without more information.
