So my friend gave me this external hdd (samsnung nm-0802) which i unfortunately dropped, the hard drive was making the normal noise when it was plugged but not detected by computers i tried multiple computers and i didn't work. I decided to open it to see if i can connect it to my pc. I realized it actually has a western digitat scorpio blue in it (which happens to be SATA) so i decided to connect to my pc and see if it is working, and i remove the usb enclosure from the sata port. I only had two sata cables in my pc one for my hdd and other for dvd. So i removed the cable from the dvd drive and put it in the HDD along with power while the computer was running ( i think) then placed it on a metal stand inside the case , it was making some noise for some time but then stopped and till this very moment not a single sounds and no it wasn't detected by bios . I tired also the SATA cable that was in my HDD and the power cable along it . Did i *** this HDD ( i think this has to do with static or heat :/ ) and if so is there anyway to retreive the data in this HDD.
Thx , in advance
