waiting for a response

then this is what you supposed to do
find a PC, connect the HDD to it and answer the question
1. what happens if you connect it directly to SATA
2. Does it make any bad sounds
3. (1 of my own) show the terminal log
is it so hard ?

Sorry for such delay,

1. what happens if you connect it directly to SATA

So i managed to connect my HDD directly to SATA port in desktop computer
It doesn't detect in windows 10
1 have 4 hard drives connected
Detects 3 devices

You need to buy something like this :

And connect to the drive like this :

Power UP the drive and DO NOT issue any command, just copy the terminal log to here.

I got it and connected now how to get log??

I tried terminal log
Nothing appears, on attaching sata cable in desktop, or original pcb socket cable.

I noticed in when two jumper cables shorted with each other device accidently it had changed name to disk drive in device manager

Send the drive to a REPUTABLE data recovery firm for recovery ....

You first posted back on 30/7/2017 ... almost 2 years now ....

The more you mess with the drive the more damage you will cause to it.

Most likely you will not be able to fix it at all even if you were to gain terminal access by TTL adaptor ...

Thanks for time

Don't need data.
wanted to restore drive, was trying to experiment as novice
I guess I give up
