**DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only, please consult your technician for help if you're dealing with a disk with sensitive data.**
If your hard drive makes some buzzing sounds, low pitch clicks, or some other kind of beeps usually sequential and repetitive like the one you will hear in this video. Then there are usually chances that your disk head has gotten stuck on the platter, so you need to manually relieve it in order to get it working again.
This process is definitely a last resort, please ensure you’ve tried other possible fixes like checking that your connectors are properly hooked up, checking the power supply, and also other kinds of software fixes. And if you decide to try the fix in this video then is up to you to ensure you don’t cause any damage to your disk or data.
If you don’t have Torx screwdriver, you can order one here: amzn.to/2xWuvli
Also if you need a SATA to USB adapter cable like the one I used in this video, you can order here: bit.ly/2xvoLPa

I tried your technique, and it worked. You hit the problem right on the head! The disk head was on the platter just like in your video here! I pushed the disk head back to the landing zone. It took a lot of restarts, shut downs to power back up, and prayers on my Mac to get that led light back blinking again! I almost jumped through the ceiling with happiness! Brother, you was a blessing indeed! And, I subscribed to your channel out of appreciation!

The explanation for why the arm gets stuck was really helpful, as it helped me determine that this is probably my issue before having to open up the hard drive to see. Your thorough walk through was much more helpful. I saw this same fix with someone who relied more on the demonstration, and I was totally lost. After this tutorial, it's so straightforward to me now.

Amazing stuff can't say it works since I don't have the screwdriver but I definitely have the same clicking sound and completely abandoned the idea of having my hdd working. Thanks a lot for that video and where were you in the 2000's ? I feel like this should have existed way before 2018.

[@earthnatureadventureworld]

Great video and explanations on repairing broken hard drives with beeping or clicking noises! I like the video because one of my backup drives got soaked into the water. It got into the water because I spilled one time a lot of water from a water bottle in my backpack when going to an Apple store in San Francisco, California, U.S. for some broken technology issues. After it spilled, I still can recover my data, takes about a week to recover my backup drive data, meaning that all my photographs and videos, from all over the world and childhood. After that, yesterday my backup storage drive started making beeping or clicking noises similar like yours, so I researched on KZbin and saw your video. I hope it will work on my backup drive.

[@d0nnyr0n]

I have previously attempted a similar fix (I moved the head itself rather than the platters)and it still doesn't work. The drive spins up but it still makes the clicking sound and under careful observation, I saw the arm is not even moving. Is there a way to fix this - either myself or a repair shop - or is it the end for my drive?

[@FernTheCamper]

Thank you! Dropped my hard drive and the connector was fine, there was spinning and crunching sounds when on and the computer didn't recognize it (even on disk utility - macbook air). I can't fork out 1K for a data recovery and this is worth a shot. Thank you so much!

[@BramSLI1]

SUBBED!!!! I just tried this on a Lacie external drive and it WORKED!!! I opened the drive and the disc head was in the parked position. I thought that it must be the motor or something else causing the issue because the disc heads weren't parked in the middle of the platter. After putting the hard drive back together, I called FileSavers. They quoted me a 100 dollar consultation fee since I had already opened the drive and that it would be another 700 to 2500 to recover the data! I thought I'd try plugging in the drive one last time and EVERYTHING WAS THERE!!!! I'm currently backing it all up to an external SSD just to be safe. Thank you so much!!!!

[@SamDaniel2020]

Saw another video where the same thing was done. However, that person turned it anti-clockwise and also moved the needle clockwise spinning them both at once to dock the needles out of the disk area. I haven't opened my HDD yet, But Now I'm super confused. Any help?

Dear All, don't try this at home even if it seems easy. My hard drive is gone forever including the important data. My advise is to take it to experience data recovery centers to assist. Most of them have played around with many external hard drives and damaged a lot, so they know the best way to handle it. My hard drive is useless now because if I take it to a recovery center it is already late

[@hykok]

What is connecting the disk you hear 3 clicks for a WD Easystore 4TB HDs. Does it sounds like the same symptom where the head had problem going back to the landing zone or the had is completely toast?

[@seizethecarp_]

Thanks for this.

[@AdventuresandLifestyle]

Excellent demo, very easy to understand. Mine just makes regular clicking, scratchy noises. 1st, I cant see any physical damage to any of the fuse's or components using my magnifying glass and 2x pairs of glasses! Have now taken the other side off to reveal the platter which had some tiny dust? particles. Used a blower brush to remove them without touching the platter. On the faulty 2.5" the needle is in the parked position. and when I rotate clockwise the needle is not moving. I can see a thin, delicate leaf spring that runs along the length of the needle which is attached to the top and bottom mountings. I'm not bothered about the drive contents. I always make backups on several other drives, so nothing was lost here. Will keep researching - thanks for a very helpful video on this. 👍

Then they came back and said they cannot guarantee data recovery but will not charge me full in that case.
