**DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only, please consult your technician for help if you're dealing with a disk with sensitive data.**
If your hard drive makes some buzzing sounds, low pitch clicks, or some other kind of beeps usually sequential and repetitive like the one you will hear in this video. Then there are usually chances that your disk head has gotten stuck on the platter, so you need to manually relieve it in order to get it working again.
This process is definitely a last resort, please ensure you’ve tried other possible fixes like checking that your connectors are properly hooked up, checking the power supply, and also other kinds of software fixes. And if you decide to try the fix in this video then is up to you to ensure you don’t cause any damage to your disk or data.
If you don’t have Torx screwdriver, you can order one here: amzn.to/2xWuvli
Also if you need a SATA to USB adapter cable like the one I used in this video, you can order here: bit.ly/2xvoLPa

Please I would like to have your email address to contact you and are you based in Nigeria?
I have a buzzing sound kinda comming from my hdd a should i give this a try?
if happen in 3.5" hardrive it is same with this situation ?
Please may I have your email address?
I tried your technique, and it worked. You hit the problem right on the head! The disk head was on the platter just like in your video here! I pushed the disk head back to the landing zone. It took a lot of restarts, shut downs to power back up, and prayers on my Mac to get that led light back blinking again! I almost jumped through the ceiling with happiness! Brother, you was a blessing indeed! And, I subscribed to your channel out of appreciation!
I can understand that jump thru the ceiling completely🤣
or you can hit the hdd into a table with the right angle and force, to assist the head into going off the disk
Is that drive still usable? Or is rhis just for recovery?
@@insomanic100 absolutely not, you have a better luck hitting it on a table to assist the head to move and fully save the drive
After success open , u transfer the file or juat leave it ? if not transfer , files still there or just gone ?
Why can’t other you tubers be as straight to the point and explain perfectly like this chap instead of waffling on about something that has no bearing on the case in point? Great job my friend.
They get paid only when the video is a certain length and has ads, but agreed they should be straight to the point regardless.
because they want us to hear their beautiful voices :D
@@afnanfaris8071 lol so it seems
Great explanation and demonstration. Much appreciated!
The explanation for why the arm gets stuck was really helpful, as it helped me determine that this is probably my issue before having to open up the hard drive to see. Your thorough walk through was much more helpful. I saw this same fix with someone who relied more on the demonstration, and I was totally lost. After this tutorial, it's so straightforward to me now.
Clear, concise, straight to the point. Subscribed! 😁
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
And edited + fake. That is not the error with that drive.
Amazing stuff can't say it works since I don't have the screwdriver but I definitely have the same clicking sound and completely abandoned the idea of having my hdd working. Thanks a lot for that video and where were you in the 2000's ? I feel like this should have existed way before 2018.
This was fantastic - thank you! I really appreciate that you named the screwdriver needed - saved me some hard googling.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
@@EasyTechsGood jobs!
So simple! And bold! Thank you sir!
You hit the nail at the Centre. Thank you for this video, it was really very helpful.
Simple, straightforward and effective. Exactly how a tech video like this is upposed to be. Great job. Thanks a lot.
so concise! I wish all youtube videos are like yours. I subscribed!
Legend. Awesome video dude!
Amazing video - will attempt this next week. Thank you - thank you for this excellent video and knowledge !!
Thank you kindly for taking the time to make this video, I am attempting the repair today.
This is why YT created for. Thanks sir.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
I have heard this dialog in some other video too
I've saved so many thousands of dollars just this year from ppl like this. Thanks
AGREED!
Great video! Thank you for your guidance. External HD fixed.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
EXCELLENT! I can't tell you how many times I've opened a drive to find this, and tried to manually move the arm! that is NOT the way to do it!! LOL. thank you, I have 11 drive waiting for me back at the shop to try to save!
Hoping you all well mate,How did it go with the 11 hard drives you were planning on saving
That's exactly the noise I'm getting from my hard drive, cheers man
Great video and explanations on repairing broken hard drives with beeping or clicking noises! I like the video because one of my backup drives got soaked into the water. It got into the water because I spilled one time a lot of water from a water bottle in my backpack when going to an Apple store in San Francisco, California, U.S. for some broken technology issues. After it spilled, I still can recover my data, takes about a week to recover my backup drive data, meaning that all my photographs and videos, from all over the world and childhood. After that, yesterday my backup storage drive started making beeping or clicking noises similar like yours, so I researched on CZcams and saw your video. I hope it will work on my backup drive.
Brother, you're such an MVP. Thanks for the video. Guys if you have relatively new hdds that still have its light on but not detected and sounds stuck, definitely do it in this video carefully.
Can this still fixed when theres no light on because my external drive is not functioning
Thank you! Dropped my hard drive and the connector was fine, there was spinning and crunching sounds when on and the computer didn't recognize it (even on disk utility - macbook air). I can't fork out 1K for a data recovery and this is worth a shot. Thank you so much!
Really helpful bro ! Great information 👍🏻
Fantastic video, thanks for doing this!
Dude Your A Data Life Saver Thank You So Much

Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
no bs short and sweet, instant sub
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
Thank you! This is so useful! My external hard drive just begun to tick.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
Did it work for u
@@TeeWoods_ it did for a time. I backed up all my files then after, it just stopped working. This solution is your last resort to save your files.
@@dncontent3091 What is the best way to backup files in this cases ? I have seen some hdd readers that transfer data. Or just connect a usb to pc and transfer it there ?
dude thank you so much for your simpplicity
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
A BOSS. RIGHT TO IT. THANK YOU SIR. SUBBING RIGHT NOW.
Thank you so much. Love from India ! Such a great fix. Will update after testing!!!
I recently lost a 8TB drive, its making the same noises, you sir have given me some hope, luckily I still have the drive
Thanks for sharing this video. Great one.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
SUBBED!!!! I just tried this on a Lacie external drive and it WORKED!!! I opened the drive and the disc head was in the parked position. I thought that it must be the motor or something else causing the issue because the disc heads weren't parked in the middle of the platter. After putting the hard drive back together, I called FileSavers. They quoted me a 100 dollar consultation fee since I had already opened the drive and that it would be another 700 to 2500 to recover the data! I thought I'd try plugging in the drive one last time and EVERYTHING WAS THERE!!!! I'm currently backing it all up to an external SSD just to be safe. Thank you so much!!!!
Amazing video!
Thanks so much. Worked for me. Was about to loose 2TB of data
How did you fix it? Congrats btw !!
Awesome video. Thank you so much
Happy to see video like this!
Could this be the reason why my hard disk is very very slow and always hook up ? I can't even use it to browse smoothly talk more of installing apps that I needed to install.
Thanks a lot man!!!
Great Job man!..you'r a life saver & you've just earned one more new subcriber! Kudos
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
thank you !
Straight to the point
Excellent demo, very easy to understand.
Mine just makes regular clicking, scratchy noises.
1st, I cant see any physical damage to any of the fuse's or components using my magnifying glass and 2x pairs of glasses!
Have now taken the other side off to reveal the platter which had some tiny dust? particles. Used a blower brush to remove them without touching the platter.
On the faulty 2.5" the needle is in the parked position. and when I rotate clockwise the needle is not moving.
I can see a thin, delicate leaf spring that runs along the length of the needle which is attached to the top and bottom mountings.
I'm not bothered about the drive contents. I always make backups on several other drives, so nothing was lost here.
Will keep researching - thanks for a very helpful video on this. 👍
Hi what did u end up doing to ur hdd
@@notwithout6878 Just sitting there on the shelf. When i get time I'll take a another look. No worries.
Thanks for the info. By the way... it's funny when you said "carefully" and handleled the drive like a cookie, lol
Thank you! You might have just saved my sanity!!! You also might have saved me $2,000!
I've had plenty of dead hard drives apart, but always to just retrieve the magnets.
I have one that had LOADS of stuff I never backed up. Click of death. I will give
it this last shot. Thanks for the video!
Haven't tried this yet but I have a seagate 8tb hard drive that made a beeping sound and then it was skipping like that so I think I'm gonna try it thanks a lot for this 🙏🏼
I have this problem (clicking) and will try this fix! Thank you for the very helpful tutorial, regardless of whether or not is solves my problem.
Do you solve the problem?
This will not fix a clicking drive. This is for the opposite problem. A stuck drive doesn't click.
@@nathankarras2715 is there a fix on a blinking white light but nothings happening?,btw it's a portable hard drive...
I had a similar hard drive which has clicking sounds. First I took it to the repair shop and they did initial checks for a small fee. Then they came back and said they cannot guarantee data recovery but will not charge me full in that case. The minimum fee is really expensive and I don't really have that much critical data (only MP3 songs and holiday photos). I then took the risk of doing it myself and it worked! Thanks but I used a hook to move the reader to the side.
Stright to the topic n precise explaination....❤
Thanks bro i fixed my dear PC!
I was so scared that my harddrive would never be the same
Thanks for this
Thank you bro. Every single service centre in my area said it is impossible to service and the only option is to recover data (which will cost me $350 minimum and just to check if it will work or not I have to pay $50). I took the leap of faith.
did it work
Thank you sir. I will try this
You make awesome informative videos!
I appreciate that!
Nice thanks, great explanation
great it worked... tried once... i now transferring the whole files.. thank u thank u soooo much...a big help....
Excellent. Thanks
Thanks for this.
Thanks, I was able to recover 95% of my data.
Good to know it helped you out, thanks for the feedback
What happened with the rest of 5%?
@@humblehostile7946 lost due to bad sectors.
@@nil12285 what do you think caused that? Dust? Arm scratching the surface?
@@terrancegerber8902 my disk was dropped while in use. Do arm scratch mostly
Thanks! This helped me recover data!
**Thanks the Simple tips!!*😃😉😊
excellent tutorial!
Great info! Thanks for the post…question, if the disc is just clicking, is this the same fix?
I just saved myself $100 worth of repair. Thank you
FANTASTIC! THK SO MCUH!!! ♥
I have an old hd that died from being bumped. Not concerned about the data on it since it was backed up. But curious to give this a try. Thanks my friend.
Did it work ?
Thank you. Worked for me!
Thank you, I need to get the right screwdriver, could you mention which one you used here? Thank you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS IS AMAZING
Thank you. Nice video.
Thank you technician, it will work
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
You are amazing! I believe this is the exact issue I'm having with my hard drive. I have to go to work to get the correct tool to get the screws off, but I will surely report back if it works, here's hoping!
Subscribed!
Did it work?
@@gvshriram Oh wow I had forgotten about this. No, it did not work unfortunately.
I spent a lifetime suffering with failing HDDs this is the very first video that offers a real solution
Glad it helped!
hope this helps. i gonna open my hard drive. thank you!
did it work for you?
thank you for this helpful video
Thanks I’ll try it! Hope this works for me as well mine is with a clicking sound 🙏🏽
Did it work
Awesome video
Thank you, kind sir!
I'm going to try this later but also want to get the SATA adapter to make sure it's not the USB connector! Thanks heaps and cool accent by the way
Thank you very much you saved my money cheers from Morocco !
Good to know it helped you out, thanks so much for the feedback!
I have previously attempted a similar fix (I moved the head itself rather than the platters)and it still doesn't work. The drive spins up but it still makes the clicking sound and under careful observation, I saw the arm is not even moving. Is there a way to fix this - either myself or a repair shop - or is it the end for my drive?
Hi EasyTechs, thanks for the video. Could you tell the number of the screwdriver to be used. Thanks
You sir are a hero, well deserved sub.
So generous of you
@@EasyTechs I have a question, i followed your tutorial and the disk is running, but now it's telling me that the drive is "uninitialized", is there any hope i recover the data on it?
Legend🔥
Thanks so much!!
Please heed the warning to do this only as a last resort as once you open the drive in any environment other than a "clean room", particles of dust will enter the drive and destroy it over a relatively short period of time. This is because the read/write heads on the end of that swinging arm float on a microscopic cushion of air just above the delicate surface of the spinning platters. A dust particle is relative to the size of a boulder compared to the space between the platters and the heads and scrapping of the magnetic material will occur releasing more particles which will continue to cause more damage.
If you are able to access data on the drive after doing this, I highly recommend that you copy whatever you need off of it as quickly as possible before total failure inevitably follows.
I 100% percent agree.
I m having this same beeping scenario with one of my portable HDD after it topple over to its side on desk. After you have taken it apart and all that, did any of the files get damaged or lost?
Thanks bro you Dave my jobs
Good to know it helped you out, thanks for the feedback!
Thank you!!
violets are blue
roses are red
