5 years ago my laptop fell on the floor and the hard drive is no longer working.

I once bought an SSD that built in, everything worked.

Now I want to have my "important" data, I can make it work

by the way, i can't remember the noises

If the hard drive has physical damage, it looks bad. You can't save anything anymore.

Cr

Should i open them?

St

No chance at all

Would you have to connect it externally and hear whether the motor is still starting or not, but with HDD… Unlikely and data restoration too expensive and after five years you need the data first?
Then it can't really be important…

ke

Would say hard drive crash

Respectively. If you have enough money, make a record for the data recovery service, but as I said, take enough money with you

Cr

Yes, I bought new ones and then they broke

and i have a document of what i need

If the hard drive is physically damaged, it becomes difficult. If only the connectors are damaged, it's easy. However, if the turntables are also damaged, a data recovery company may be able to do something. But that would cost more than 500 euro.

You can do it but it won't work. If the data is extremely important, you can bring it to professionals. But is extremely expensive and does not guarantee data recovery.

ke

Well you can't do much

Cr

The laptop cost 500 euro

Pe

What should that tell me?

be

Buy a new one.

St

Rather. I would say bad cards

Pa

You can probably only hire a service for data recovery. This then costs money:
