Hello guys,
Sorry but I'm new here and I really need help.

I have a Seagate Barracuda 7000.14 :

model : ST1000DM003
PN : 9YN162-303
Firmware : CC4D
PCB : 100664987 Rev A

I bought it 2 years ago and today something happened.... I started my PC as usual, nothing particular. But the HDD has not been recognized. I tried to put it in an external drive but nothing at all.
The Hard drive spins, and there is no "clock clock" or any sound, just some little sound when it starts just like he reads platters, and nothing.
I have all pictures of my children on it, and as an asshole I did not make any save of it.

I read that it can be cause by the PCB, but I'm not sure at all.
Please help me to know how I can do to retrieve those precious pictures. What do you think about this ?

I know it's difficult to say like that...but if somebody has the same issue, perhaps he could help.

Thank you !

Hello lordkrowan,

first stop any activity with your HDD and contact PRO datarecovery near you.
It could be head stiction.
Dont do it yourself without proper tools and KNOWLEDGE

You probably have Heads or FW problems. This is a not DIY if you do not have skills and tools.


which tools and skills do you have,
Can you send pics?

If you do not have tools and experince beter contact with local pro (see msg)

Could this help me ?

Thx guys,

The problem is that i'm living in New Caledonia, a little Island in the South pacific, and here there is no pro for this...So I really need to do it myself or sent the HDD to a recover society for 600$.. :'(

What picture do you need ?

My Tools ? or my skills ?!
