i mean the hdd i have in hand is from a new lenovo laptop (1y old) it look like a genuine drive. so i wont belive it is a "fake" hdd from china , i dont belive that lenovo purchase these drive from an unknow retailer.

You're partly right of course but not entirely, you'll see information flowing between users freely within certain aspects of DR and there's a considerable amount of generic assistance given.
If you're a rossmann or jessa viewer you'll be familiar with the term "please bro". There are a number of very good posts on techniques for diagnosing specific and generic faulty pcbs both here and at hddorcle. Have you run any continuity test or measured any of the voltages on your board?
I have a ST1000LM035 sitting on the bench with scored platters the PCB is, to my knowledge fine. If you want me to check voltages, resistance or diode measurements I'm happy to do so (as I have in other threads) just list/identify the components.
If the problem is beyond swapping chips and cloning the drive there *very* little than can be done without the investment in DR tools and PC3000, that's just the way it is - hard to hear but it's true. That's a 5 figure investment people are not going to make to play with one drive.
You could try cloning with a power relay and hddsuperclone but the constant off and on without knowing what's wrong is likely to damage the drive more and potentially make any data unreadable even to a pro, what you have at the moment should be an everyday case. Everyone says the data is not important but no one actually means it otherwise they wouldn't be bothering with the drive.
you are very kind , and thank you for offered help .
i am indeed a viewer of both , i learned alot, never tried to repair a macbook or an iphone deeply as they go but those are fascinating stuff this is why i love to watch them and learn stuff i didnt knew before.
(i dont know the term of "please bro"
)
"Have you run any continuity test or measured any of the voltages on your board? "
hmm no i did not since i dont know what to test or how to , but if u have the same board as mine u could point me where and what to measure and what the reading should be like, or just looking at the picture i attached to the thread and point me there. that would be a nice start before the 2 boards arrived to me.
"There are a number of very good posts on techniques for diagnosing specific and generic faulty pcbs both here and at hddorcle"
i have tried to find some, but they are so many posts that i must skip those
, if u do have couple in reach , i'd like to read them and learn a thing or two . <3
and i must say i am also a viewer of HDD Recovery Services on youtube
cool guy

there is no point to go any further then. You can do perfectly nothing useful with the drive on your own.
Please post that log and let us see.

lol dont be like that
i am sure , you "pepe" do not learn stuff only to create a bussines out of it.
i am sure! that u learn stuff for the sake of learning and knowing new things.
same over here << i am not intrested in opening a shop or a bussines out of it, this is not my interest . (how ever not every1 is like me , and u my likely sir maybe do learn stuff to open a shop, who knows
)
anyhow, i cant find the TTL to USB , i asked a friend to find his .
that can take some time
anyhow , i dont think this is a lock, because from the getgo i could've take out some files , while i belive that if there is a lock of some sort u wont be able to retrieve anything because its getting lock immediately , perhaps i am wrong and the drive do not get locked right away after boot spin idk.. but my educated skills tell me its not that .
again thanks all
