Hitachi 1TB Hard Drive Beeping

[mokil]

Hello Guys,


Hi have an Hitachi HCS5C1010CLA382 1TB that fall down 2 days ago. After falling down, stopped being detected by Windows.

When i turn it on i can ear it starts spinning but then starts to beeping exactly like user Yello shows in:

I have a lot of documents and photos that i really need to recover... does the noise give any clue about what the problem might be??

Thanks in advance for the help.

It's either heads stucked to the platter or bent axis, not a DIY

it's beyond DIY, send it to a pro DR

Bad heads and/or media damage.

NOT DIY

Thank you very much for your quick help!

Can you explain why do you say that it is not DIY?
If it is a clean room job i have access to one where i study so that part wouldn't be a problem...

Also about that, i opened the disk in that clean room and the heads are moving and the disks seems to be ok (at least the top one).

Also, by the sound, do you think that turning on the disk is damaging it even more ?!

Because you need to have experience, proper tools and know-how to swap heads on an HDD. No offense, but you seem to have none of them.

Unfortunately, a clean room is not the only thing that is required.

Yes.
