Can someone helps to diagnose the problem. It worked perfectly fine with over 85% health and suddenly Windows crashed. Now HDD isn't working. Not even showing in Disk Mgmt/bios. But when plugged PC takes about 1 minute more to boot. (to pass the bios screen) There is a slight vibration but no sound. Is this a mechanical problem or a PCB issue? It's a WD purple 3TB.

85% health is not good in a hard drive. Degradation tends to accelerate quite quickly and 85% is damaged.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
