It's dead Jim.

A HDD is a very sensitive mechanical equipment, even a tiny dislocation can make it not work anymore. Also, the air inside the harddisk is 99.9999% dust proof, any small particle of dust inside there can break it.

You basically killed your harddisks and only a professional recovery service (which costs thousands of $) can save your data.

Yeah, a truly big mistake.

Invent a time machine, go back in time and backup your date if that's important to you. A clicking hard drive is a dead hard drive and one that won't be recognized is usually dead too. Opening the thing up was stupid and did nothing but probably make it worse. If your data is that important, you can pay a data company a $1000 to try and get it for you, otherwise, sorry, but that's why backing up is important.
