Seagate ST1000DM003 Z1D sudden death

[eikaf]

Dear friends,
I'm writing you for a problem i have had some days ago with this hard drive. I made a video so you can understand behaviour, probably it's an head problem. The hdd has ever been in my desktop without moving it anywhere else.

Thank you.

Here is the video.

Yep, it's heads issue most probably, but now that you've opened the drive in a non-clean environment and powered the drive without the lid, the chances of recovery have gone the wrong way so you have bigger problems.

If you have important data in this drive, I suggest you contact member Luca, www.ultrarecovery.com they are located in Brugnera.

Good luck.

Forgot to mention that DM series drives are a PITA generally, so I'm very sorry to say this, but the stakes are against you.

thank for reply, i don't care about the data that much to give away a lot of money. Thanks again.

You're welcome

OK then I would suggest to forget the drive and move on.
