Re: Attempt to repair burnt drive myself?

It was disconnected and out of computer but had the computer open and connectors set up to quickly recover. Do what Tursiops_G said I held it in the palm in my hand gripping the sides and twisted it quickly and sharply. Easiest way is put your elbow on a table and hold the HD in the palm of your hand. Kinda like shaking a bottle, but in a flat axis, do it once or twice. Plug it in, if it starts up BACK IT UP!!. Don't even try to explore the drive. Thanks to Tursiops_G I recovered 99.99% of my files.
