It's possible to know if the head is damaged and if the platters has surface damage without open the HD?

How DR companies they do it? They use some type of x-ray to look inside the HD?

One could do x-ray but it's expensive. Opening is much easier for a DR company.
X-ray is often used by manufacturers to do a quick diag w/o opening a drive

No on would use X-RAY as drive would have sereval platters and X-RAY wouldn't be able to show damaged heads/platters on the middle.

I don't think that's entirely true
