Hi,
my sister dropped her laptop and now her WD800BEVS drive clicks some times and then
it goes silent.
i tried with both an usb enclosure and an esata port, but the drive its on its way to the landfill.

i think i will definitivelly end disassembling it, but before that, does anybody has a similar experience with this specific drive model? (WD800BEVS-22RST0 ~ 80GB)
I think the last time i disasembled an hdd was an old conner (or a quantum) one… Even my old 12gb IDE disks still works if i power them up. 
Thanks in advance.
