WD Passport Ultra not working after it fell down

dawidyadhana

Hello guys, 

So I currently have a WD Passport Ultra 2 TB but it fell down twice by accident. When I tried to connect it to my computer, it made this voice (attached in video) and it is unrecognized by the computer. I have googled everything relating to hard disk failures but I still have no idea what this noise means. Do you guys any idea what kind of error this is and is there any possible way to fix it by myself? Thanks in advance 🙂

Its dead, most likely read/write head is stuck and motor is not able to move it. You wont be fixing that yourself.

There is a chance a specialized hard drive recovery company can get data back, but the price will probably be scary.

Sounded like the drive heads have been knocked out of alignment. Impact are bad for mechanical drives.
