I've just installed a new psu, an ssd into a new case.. I had an issue with my ssd it seemed, got stuck on post screen with these weird moving vertical lines. That got fixed after disconnecting the sdd. I'm not sure about the systems stability after that, I did BSOD for an unknown reason. Anyway, I powered off to sort out the ssd issue, trying different sata cables etc., then boom. HDD started clicking. I think what caused it was the motherboard end of the sata cable not being plugged in properly, was right angled.
So now I'm looking for advice on the best route to take. I don't have a recent backup. I have another 1TB drive. I really, really need to get this working again, at least for long enough to back up. I'm willing to try surgery but don't know where to start. The clicking does suggest the data platters are in tact
If you could share your advice on what action to take or drop a link on a guide/video I could use it would be great! Cheers
