Dropped HDD

[zorbit]

Hi,

I dropped my external HDD, and now it´s not recognized in windows.
The drive sounds normal.
I´ve opened up the enclosure and plugged it in to my motherboard.
I´ve tried to detect it in Bios, but no luck there either.

what do you think is wrong?

Most likely damaged heads not diy fix im affraid.
Better seek a pro recovery if data is important enough to warrent the coats.

Suggest to stop playing with it by powering it on trying to see if it will come back to life. It won't.

I agree with loki.
