Sadly hard drives are very sensitive devices and once dropped or damaged are only recoverable by a data recovery company. The needles are specific to that drive, the disks can get scrashed or damaged easily if the cover is removed. With 10 years of data on that drive you really should have a regular backup.
If you try to fix yourself, it won't work... lots of people tried... Always fails sadly, these drives are not like changing a record. Sadly... Hopefully the cost will not be much, and if you get your data back, always keep a regular backup...
Thanks, I appreciate the effort to explain the situation.
The paradox is that I had it as a backup.But things go wrong.
