If you would identify where you are located in the world, we can refer you to a local data recovery pro.

WD drives are the ones that break the most and give everyone the most problems. Normally in your case sorry my answer is no. If it was a simple issue would of been happy to try and help you out. But I will give you some names and you can go from there.

Thatdell guy is located in California
Jono is located in Georgia
Quasimodo is located in Florida

There are a few more out there but this is one of the top that can do this job for you for a good price and get off data on your HDD if it is important to you

Just a quick though can giving ddrescue a try hurt the drive since it does not click on power on but does spin up and is recognized by the bios?

Without corrrect diagnosis it could kill the drive.

Just creates an impression:


How about asking a patient foreseen for a possible hart transplantation

If I were you I would not do this one if data is important. I gave you three names contact one of them depending on your location. If data is important to you
