Computer Help and Support

The hard drives electronics have failed, the beeps, one saying hey I am here, and the 2nd saying goodbye in a row, (or connect/disconnect tones) that part is toast, even if you can get it apart, it's likely not worth the effort, it's likely NOT all normal hard drive parts the user can easily remove and as is you'll never see the drive contents let alone access them ever again as you have already proven with switching cables and PC.

Been there done that, just had to trash an internal 2TB hard drive that had the same issue, system wouldn't function right either if it was hooked up, was very bizarre, once removed, system back to normal.

I used external SATA to USB adaptor/power to test it on 3 different systems, all the same, no dice.
