It is not recognized in CMOS. is it possible to recover?
In this case, we can think of 2 different ways.
First, HEAD damage, the HEAD is the most delicate part in HDD. Due to long time and high temperature, HEAD stick to the Media and it becomes out of operation or lose the value of HEAD.
Second, the damage of PCB, because of this damage, there can be IC error or BURN. Also there's a possibility of HDD malfunction or even not working REDY itself.
