Hello, this drive comes from my dish PVR and it is dead.
There are some recordings on it.

I took it out of the PVR and installed in the USB dock but the drive does not make
any noise at all.
The PCB looks clean, no signs of burns, damage etc.
I took the PCB off the drive , covered the contacts to the head stack on the PCB still no noise dead...
I measured voltages at the four contact points supplying power to the motor , all of them 0V.

Fzabkar or others can you please point me in the right direction what other components to check at this point in time.
Thanks in advance.

See the test points in the following thread:

That said, many drives that are installed in PVRs are programmed to Power Up In Standby (PUIS), either via a PM2 jumper, or via a firmware setting. In the latter case you could use a tool such as HDAT2 to disable PUIS.

To wake up the drive, you would need to launch HDAT2 with the /w switch, ie ...

hdat2 /w
