Post by: Wopah on February 03, 2020, 07:24:00 PM

Take it to a reliable PC repair shop and ask them if they can fix it.

Your normal PC repair shop won't have a clue.  You'll need a specialist to have any hope of salvaging it.  Assuming you have a firmware backup, you're much better off getting a replacement off of eBay.

Agreed.  You probably applied 12V to a 3V component, possibly the controller for the drive.  This will fry that lead/component and it'll need to be replaced.  If you have the firmware, you're probably better getting a new drive.  If you dont, try dumping the firmware - it may still function enough to do so.  If not, send it to someone with a programmer to salvage it.
