Re: Attempt to repair burnt drive myself?
That type of failure (in the pic) took a lot of amperage to occur. This means it is likely terminal. if you keep messing with this drive in your computer, you could loose something else if you're not careful.
You can open a hard drive in a non-clean room, and run it, and it will work for a short time. I've done this to recover data on hard drives that don't want to turn over.
My recommendation is cut your losses, let it go and move on before it gets worse. |
