Hey everyone,

So I have a 2TB HDD from Western Digital that won't spin up. It is a WD20EADS-00W4B0 2TB Western Digital drive if you need the exact model. I have tried pulling the drive and putting it into my current system to where a known working drive is, and those connections do not work. Tried in a known working external enclosure as well and it won't spin up. BIOS boot does not "see" the drive.

Is there anything that I can do to try and revive this drive? I sit right next to where this drive was, no clicking or metallic sounds that I have heard. I just accessed it last on Wednesday(05/01/2013).
