so I know now that my hdd is gone but I want to know what was the cause ? what do you guys think ? and thanks in advance .
 
Hi there mahdi_88,

Well, you could have not properly connected the power cable. Also, "messing up with other cables too" does not really provide much info. :D

Are u sure your HDD is damaged? You can connect it with different SATA and power cables to another SATA port.

Cheers,

yes I tried with other power cable , SATA cables and ports but it didn't work but I have 2 other HDDs working just fine .
actually my damaged one is new and it is in "warranty period" , does warranty cover this cause I didn't call the store yet .
and sorry for my grammar .
