Answer #1

you can open it up and see if any of the connectors have disconnected

OR

Stick the HDD in the freezer for about 8 hours, directly plug it into your PC, hopefully it will run and you can save your data (actually worked for me a few times)

OR

attach it to your PC as a slave and see if it is recognized, if yes, the cases wiring may be busted

Answer #2
