Hi all , I have a WD drive from an old laptop , I have written it off but just interested , It is not recognised by pc and it makes this noise : https://www.dropbox.com/s/dj3qfpscz3kcm0q/New%20Recording%2014.m4a?dl=0 I have opened it it does not look like (to me ) that the heads are parking correctly ? .

Nope - looks like the ramp is damage and it's probably trashed the head too. |
