Datarecovery companies usually gives free diagnostics, if you have important files in your drive i advice you to take it to a data recovery company nearby, if the issue is PCB related, it shouldn't be expensive, i recommend you to get a proper diagnostic before you try anything, maybe the price will change your mind to try anything by yourself.

It might be a PCB issue, you can send it to datanalyzers in Orlando, about a replacement for your drive i would say to stay away from seagates, WD's are fine but always make a back up.
