get pro. diagnose my friend
SN & LBA not detected

those tools will not help

might be FW issue or heads screenshot doesn`t talk

I want to be honest: the drive fallen from about 30-35 centimetres inside a generic USB aluminium box drive. I'd reconnected the drive again to the pc because the sounds were absolutely clear, no clicks and no strange noises... and it was still working like a charme! After 10 minutes the pc frozen and the hard disk wasn't recognized anymore... Any chance to get it working by PCB swap?

Ma va' ? Non l'avrei mai detto
(Oh really ? No wonder )
In tutti i casi che ho visto di quel tipo il primo sintomo e' proprio quello : capacita' ZERO anche se riconosciuto regolarmente e dati inaccessibili (e' per come e' fatto che si comporta cosi')

I'd reconnected the drive again to the pc because the sounds were absolutely clear, no clicks and no strange noises...

Pessima idea (a really bad idea).

... and it was still working like a charme!

5 Minuti prima di morire era vivo- vedi punto precedente (5 minutes before it died, it was alive - see above)

Any chance to get it working by PCB swap?

E' come chiedere : se si e' rotto il carburatore, c'e' qualche speranza che la macchina riparta cambiando il volante ?
(It's like asking : with a broken carburetor, is there any hope to make the car start again by changing the steering wheel ?)

Cio' detto, l'unica e' fare una diagnosi seria , sperando che un eventuale danno non si sia esteso alla superficie. In ogni caso per un problema interno di quel tipo servono diversi biglietti di quelli verdi... senno' l'unica e' metterlo via in attesa di tempi migliori - o accettare la perdita e andare avanti.

So said , you need a proper diagnose hoping head damage did not affect media. In any case, for such a problem , several "green bills" (= 100 EUR note) is the average quote - otherwise the other options are storing it in a safe place waiting for better times, or accept the loss and carry on.
