It is indeed making a clicking sound

The read/write heads are slamming into the orange park bracket but they should ease into it once the heads are clear of the platters. Replacement head assembly is required in this situation(if you hadn't ruined the platters by opening it outside of a clean room). Replace the drive, nothing can be recovered from this other than a few sensors and motors.

Eh, then I don't feel bad about opening mine, I definitely won't replace the read/write head cause it's ain't even worth the trip. It was cool seeing the internal components tho lol.

@@jameskirk2579 Unless you live in the Sahara Desert, there's no point in having a clean room. Just have a "clean" living room, close the windows, stop the fans, don't make sudden moves that could create air flow and bring dust with it and it's fine.

@Skyrilla 5 ай бұрын

Lol I love that whole ''ruined!'' myth when it comes to the platters. A little bit of dust won't matter, of course you want to keep it as minimal or non-existent as possible, but the tiniest few specks won't matter. They get blown off by the centrifuge anyway (there's even a filter in the HDD...) It won't be fatal unless the platter is actually scratched, or has abundant and ridiculous amounts of dirt.

@ZSRSS Ай бұрын

opening one in a non clean room wont instantly break the hard drive. Aslong as you would make sure there aren't any(or no big) dust particles left on the disks you should be fine.

Ok after taking some time to learn all the ins and outs of so called fixing your Hard Drive. You can't truly fix anything. What you will need to do, to get any readable data of the unscratched sections of the disc platter. Is costly but you can get a new HDD and remove it's disc/platter set with your damaged set. Then you have to setup an reader arm block. To force your new reader arm to only read the section of the disc, leading up the the damaged section or after the damaged sections. That's how the physical set up is done. A digital reading program is used to read and convert the corrupt files into a now viewable file. This is how it's normal done. The Big cost will start with the Clean room device, it's cleans the air of dust, small screwdrivers, replacement HDD and one recovery program that includes a data converting software.
