TOSHIBA MK1246GSX 120GB

I have a TOShIBA MK1246GSX 120GB hard drive with a stuck spindle, when I powered on using DeepSpar Disk Imager,
the spindle cannot turn and the head also does not move,
is there any thing that I can do to solve this issue!!!

Should be “easy” for a data recovery company, but not DIY :-(

Agree.


In so much as it was “easy” today for my dentist to drill out a large troublesome metal filling and replace with a new composite one :-)

Is this the model with lubricant problems in the spindle bearing? Maybe a minute or so with a hair dryer might warm it up enough to get it going?
