Hi everybody

Thanks to all of you for helping me with ideas for salvaging the hard
disk. I have already tried every thing - no bent pins, no reversed
power plug, no problem with the data cable etc.

The computer recognized another hard disk so it is not the problem
with the computer too.

Mechanical damage is ruled out as I did not remove the hard disk from
the computer.

When I rebooted the bios did not recognize the hard disk - perhaps
indicating some circuitry has failed rather than a media error.

And when I power the hard disk now it whirrs as usual. So no damage to
the spin drive system

It now points to switching the circuit board and I hope I succeed as
much as Pennywise

I will come back as soon I lay hands on a similar hard disk.

Thanks again
