My HD was working till yesterday. All of a sudden it died. Bios does not see it. I can hear it spinning.
Is there a way I can revive it to retrieve some data.? Like pcb swap or firmware repair?
Thanks for your help.

Aren't step by step instructions available on videos? Not for the adapter, for recovering the data...
