Dropped mine from not even 3 feet and it started beeping! I swear these things are ridiculous! I'm going to attempt it..

my Seagate Backup Plus 5 TB today joined the club.

Mine started beeping and not showing up and it's never been dropped (Seagate Backup Plus 4gb). It's been sat on my desk since I bought it and never moved. It's well out of warranty so it looks like I may as well open it up and try this method. Pretty sure it's going to ruin the case in the process but if I can get the drive working again, it'll be worth the sacrifice.

Thanks for the vid! What's the size of the Torx bit? and the other screw driver? Also, are these sizes universal on the different Seagate models? Im having this problem on my 2022 Seagate Expansion drive. I just don't have these screw drivers

My almost new Seagate external hard drive gets the beeping and doesn't show up. But it doesn't look like the one in your hand. It has a hard black case with no apparent way to get the case off. So, I guess I'm just stuck with a stuck HD head.

Mine was on the floor and fell over. It's a 14tb seagate expansion. Started beeping, froze on the computer. This was in the middle of a so far 23 hour transfer to backup my computer. So no data to lose, but if I can't get it to work, it's already a $200 loss. I almost wish it arrived DOA because then I could send it back, but not willing to with 4tb already transferred.

Guess I'm going to have to try this. Nothing to lose at this point ☹️

I just sent it in today. I'm afraid of what this is going to cost. Hoping for something in the 3-500 range. Mine dropped too except it was already on the ground, so it was more of a domino fall. I know the importance of backup and I didn't this time.

My case is different. I essentially forgot that mine does not fit perfectly, and it hung down and I pulled it out immediately for some reason. It is a laptop. And now it doesn’t seem to power on😢

"if you're worried about loosing you data"
i am not, i ordered mine 4tb hdd from reputable store and they sent me one that they dropped (they packed it, package wasn't damaged, but hdd and antistatic bag inside were), and they don't want to accept warranty because it's damaged hahaha
soo, seeing this video gives me hope that i could save my money hahaha

Hi!! Great video 🙌
I have a 2TB WD ELEMENTS BLACK USB 3.0 2.5 external drive?

The PC does not detect it on port 3.0, but on 2.0, on that port it appears fine in the device manager, in the disk manager it appears uninitialized and when initialized it says non-existent device.

When you connect it, the LED turns on, it makes 7 beeps and then. 3 beeps and then 3 more beeps and it stops. Will there be a solution?

[marklouiecastaneda]

hey, can you give me the name of the screwdriver you're using? thanks 😢😢

[marksurkus]

This is why large Hard drives are so scary. It’s not if but when they go bad. 😢 stupid Hard drives!

[fireflyfire]

Guys a managed to open it and everything but there is one screw that doesn't want to go out and now it is dull on the inside of you see what I mean and so I cannot open it fully do you guys have an idea ??

[g-o-u-r]

I'm worried about the dust after opening. I don't have a "clean room" for operations.
