HARD DISK ERROR

I have an HP laptop(Model: Probook 440 G4) almost ten months old. Yesterday it fell from the table by mistake; then it was on. Noting broken as it seems first. The screen got stuck where it was before. No command was working, so I left it like that. After a few hours, I pressed the power button, got the "Smart Hard Disk error". (Pics are attached below)

The hard drive diagnostics is also not working. I took out the HDD and connected to my desktop, found that it is so slow, even responding after 10 minutes. My desktop OS Ubuntu is also showing warning: "The DISK MIGHT FAIL SOON". The laptop was under warranty, but I took out the HDD. I guess warranty is void. I searched online but coundn't find a solution for this issue. Please help me, if anyone knows how to solve this. 

The HDD is from WD Black (Moel: WD500LPLX)

Yeah, if you're experiencing disk issues immediately following it smacking the ground you're not going to repair something like that. It's likely hardware failure from vibration or shock. You're going to have to replace it.

 

If it's the boot drive you might as well take this opportunity to replace it with a SSD. Even SATAII laptops get a nice kick from SSDs over spinning disks.

Don't see what you need? Check the Full List or *PM me, if I haven't made it I'll add it to the list.

*NOTE: I'll only add it to the list if the request is something I know I can do.

Did you rip any warranty void sticker? Removing Hard drives almost never voids warranty.

nope I didn't remove any sticker.

Then you should take it to repairs, the warranty should still be valid
