Samsung HD161HJ

Good evening.
I have a problem with HDD, namely my BIOS does not detect the HDD. Warranty expired a month ago. I made a short video about the inside components, it looks like the motor is burnt but im no expert.
I also have another 120GB PATA drive from Samsung, when i plug it inside power connector psu wont take power in at all, or maybe for 1 second. If it is the motor would it be possible to replace motor from SP120N to HD161HJ?
