Ah. I see. That sounds like it's not happy. Good luck! Cheers John. I was always told never to open hdds so yes it’ll be a last resort. Maybe i can keep the outer housing and power supply and change out the hdd, will see i’ll give it one more try before accepting defeat

I had 3 HDD that did not work because of a stuck reading arm and I had no fear to open them. All three worked after opening the drives and I could save the files on the HDD. Could be the last possible way to get the drive running. Otherwise it may be ruined.
