Hello, I had bad luck and dropped my external hard drive about a feet or 2 when I was about to plug it in. I plugged it in after I dropped it and it did not show up on my computer. I've read some other threads on this but they all say send it in to professionals.

The external hard drive is a Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2tb.

Is there any way I can recover the data without sending it to a professional?

Thank you!

Since drop isn't covered by warranty it won't matter if I open it now right? I'll try to open it after doing some more research and recheck if anything got disconnected.

Thank you!
