What's wrong with my hard disk?

So I assume I it's unfixable now?

 

It’s already unfixable when you opened it. 
 

Absolutely NOBODY repairs a hard drive, repair costs for anything broken under the drive lid is a few hundred dollars minimum, so it’s only done for data rescue operations, not for the drive itself. 

A few days ago, something fell to my laptop and my PC suddenly has this error "windows system32 ntoskrnl.exe". I tried to reinstall windows 10 through a flashdisk, but now my laptop is stuck on the menu to repair, etc. Apparently, the problem is because of my hard disk. I tried opening it and it looks fine to me. Does anyone know what's the problem and how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

The hard drive's condition:

Is it a hard drive or an SSD? My guess is that it is a harddrive and that the shock caused the head to crash on the platter.

Sorry guy, but the first mistake was dropping a heavy object on the laptop and the second mistake, more even likely the biggest mistake was opening the drive.  Unless you operate in a "clean room", opening a regular type hard drive like the one in the video is an extremely big no-no.

 

If you feel the need to continue, I would suggest you put the drive back together in its original condition and connect everything together.  Then use something like the AOMEI Partition Magic software to see if you can actually work with the drive.  I would try deleting any/and/or/all partitions on the drive and if that works (we hope), then try to recreate a regular partition on the drive.

 

Hopefully, God willing, the angels will smile upon your soul and allow you to reinstall Windows using the Windows Media Creation Tool that you can download from M-soft.

 

Good Luck, you're going to need it.

Opening up the drive is a big mistake that may cost you hundreds of dollars in data recovery, trying to spin it up with an open lid costs you thousands and usually total loss of data. 

 

The head is screaming when scratching the platters, it’s dead.

Nothing will work when the drive can’t even initialize. The heads didn’t even reach the service area.

Now the disk just stops after spinning for a few seconds
So I assume I it's unfixable now?
