I decided to purchase a SSD to speed up my PC. I purchased Acronis True Image and started the cloning to my new SSD. During this process, my PC crashed with a BSOD. After, it would not boot at all. I thought I had an issue with my MOBO so purchased a new bundle (needed a new one as mine was very old) with chip and memory. PC still would not get to POST. Tried old graphics card and then the PSU wouldn't start, so bought a new PSU (this was now starting to get a tad expensive). Still the same issue. Removed every cable and added the new ones but still no joy. A family member helped and removed my wireless mouse receiver from the front USB. He said it was almost out so may have shorted the PC. Put all pieces back together and we got to POST. Now, the old HDD doesn't boot at all. I have installed Win 7 on my new SSD, bought a SATA/USB adapter and ran several progs trying to find and salvage data from HDD but to no avail. The HDD does not have a light to show if it is working and I can hear no sounds from the drive. In Disk Management, it shows as a removable disk with no media.
I have a lot of data that I desperately need off the old HDD. Ironically, I was going to use the old HDD as a back up for my SSD. Can someone please give me some hope that the HDD may be salvaged. I have already lost enough sleep about losing so much valuable data.
Thank you

I'd definitely NOT advise you to tamper with your WD Green drive physically because you it's highly likely to cause more harm than good.
