Recovery of the data is not a priority. Does anyone know the source of the problem?

Boy.. You are in for a scolding..

Scale from 1 to 10, ten meaning you destroyed the drive.. You beez at a 9.5 or so..

But to answer your question, that typically means that the head(s) have failed.. Typically, the preamp.
