Replacement parts from a suitable donor hard drive will have to be found before being used to replace the damaged components.

Recovering data from hard drives with these faults is not guaranteed. Similarly this isnвЂ™t a problem with the driveвЂ™s PCB either вЂ“ so any suggestions about replacing the PCB with a new one will also not work. Remember the drive has physically damaged components that must be replaced before and data recovery can be attempted.

There is no software you can use to fix problem like this. As the hard drive has a physical problem, retrieving the files from it involves us replacing the spindle motor assembly and rebuilding the drive in a clean room. This is classed as a mechanical type of fault, which is really the worst type of problem your hard drive can have. ItвЂ™s not possible to repair a hard drive with this problem, the best a data recovery company can usually do is get the hard drive into a barely working state for long enough to extract the data. The beeping / hum sounds you hear tell me this, as does your drive not being recognised on your PC. The impact of the fall has resulted in the spindle / motor seizing and the disks are now unable to rotate. A quick history lesson: Your data is stored on several magnetic disks inside the hard drive that are rotated very quickly around a central spindle by a motor. The symptoms you describe tell me that this drive has a problem with itвЂ™s spindle motor assembly. I am hoping to either get the drive repaired or more importantly recover the file from it (1.5tb approx), is there a cost per mb for recovered data?вЂќ The drive never вЂњspins upвЂќ, and is not recognised on a Win7 PC. Since the fall upon plugging in the drive make a quiet hum/electrical sound before being punctuated by a slighlty louder beep. At the time the HDD was turned off and not plugged in.
