Hello,

Your drive have head/media problem, and now, when you was playing the SA is damaged inside the platters.
At this point there is nothing what you can do.
The data is only recoverable at professional lab.
You can make things only worse and make the recovery cost up to 2x 3x.

If your data is important, seek for professional help.

Thank you for your kind response.
Sincerely.

Sostituire l'elettronica non serve e in qualche caso porta solo a altri danni.
Bisogna capire esattamente cosa sta succedendo nel disco, per cui va fatta una diagnosi. Se interessato, lascia PM. Saluti.

Change PCB doesn't work, and sometimes it can lead to other failure. A precise diagnose is necessary. If interested drop me a PM. Regards.
