I had an old 120GB WD Passport (like 7yrs old) die on me. I stupidly was using it as my main source of storing all my files since my laptop is on the fritz & has little room on it. PC & MAC could see it, but I could not access it. It whirled & spinned but than stopped. I took it to Geek Squad & they evaluated it as a Level 3 issue. Put out the $$$ they asked to send it out again & they came back saying they couldn’t recover anything. Is it worth it to try somewhere else once they send me back the hard drive or have I lost everything for good? If it’s worth it, anyone have suggestions on where to send it/what to do? I have no idea if it’s coming back whole or what. I think it will be put back together, but may not be able to put it in a usb port.
Hello,
I recommend you contact a data recovery company and explain the situation to them. Maybe they are able to help.

It’s still worth trying another professional data recovery software or service, especially if the data is highly valuable to you. Once you get your drive back, try DIY data recovery software. Also, ensure the chosen service is reputable and has good reviews for handling severe data recovery scenarios.
