Hello everyone and thank you in advance for any advice I can get.

I have attach pics and video + audio with oscilloscope readings of the drive.
The drive does not detect and it just make the same noise non stop.
Does it sound like a mechanical failure or could it be a bad pcb or firmware corruption?

Unfortunatly the noise is very bad, i would say bad heads + media demage.
Can you tell us the story of the drive? was it dropped down foer example?
Do you know that ONLY power-on a drive with so bad noises can increase the demages?

I found out more info about the drive, it was in a external usb housing and it tilt over while it was on.
so I will also have to go with head/platter damage so very low chance to recover :(

Thank you all for your input/advice.
