Anything to do here? It spins up, click twice and spins down It gets ID, firmware etc, but says the size is 3,86gb. Is this dead or is there something i can do?

Hi.
I think it is a lost case.
Every time the needles pass through that area I think they will break.
Also if I'm not mistaken, the other surfaces of the HDD have the same scratch.

A greeting.

most likely gone, if customer is willing, partial recovery can be attempted...

Yes, maybe possible for partial but requires thorough investigation...

Not cheap :-(

In your case I would remove top head, do the necessary ROM modifications to get the drive to start without h5

After checking all heads for debris under the microscope of course! :-)

But in any case, it’s a cleanroom job.
