I have a 2.5" hard drive that has been shaken while it was turned on.
When I connect it, nothing happens what so ever. It doesn't spin and the BIOS can't see it.
At this site they talk about putting the disk in the freezer.
I don't understand how shaking it can cause it not to spin up or being detected. I mean, the PCB should be able to handle being shaken.
Question
Is that expected?
Does anyone have an idea of what I could try?
