Failed motor or heads stuck to platter. Do not open it if data is important.

I would agree with spaz, likely heads parked incorrectly on platter preventing motor from turning. Send for professional diagnostic and/or recovery

I am starting in DR I have PC3000 UDMA I am only research for my objective data base of defects to recoup the data I thank any tip of as to decide

[hddguy]

when the HDD is powered, what noise can you hear? does spindle motor start or not? Is BSY LED lit on MHDD/PC3K?

When it is connected emits one takes care of well low, as (tec tec) after one 4 seconds for, not recognized for the PC3000 and the engine always stopped

sounds like you have a case of stiction. Top cover needs to be removed, and heads need to be parked correctly by you. Be warned though, if done incorrectly or not carefully enough, you will damage the heads, and maybe even cause damage to the media surface.

Is data important from this HDD? do you need data recovery, or is this simply research for you?

hello,
you can check when give power for the PCB. have volatage or not on pin that which pin connect motor. and you see the UDMA state also.
