My PC hard disk drive won't read even though it was OK a few years ago. I need to extract information. I have a working drive similar to it. How can I swap the reading mechanism like heads and everything besides the disks

Seagate Technology Hard Drive: Title: Accidentally plugged 25V Roborock H7 charger into 12V Seagate O

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 10:58:08 -0700

== ==

Device: Seagate One Touch (Hub version)

The Issue: I accidentally used the power adapter from my Roborock H7 Handheld Vacuum to power my Seagate One Touch external desktop drive.

The Specs Mismatch:

Seagate Requirement: 12V / 1.5A - 3A
Roborock H7 Charger Output: 25.6V / 1.4A
Result: I sent more than double the required voltage into the drive.

Current Status: The drive is currently unplugged. I am worried about the internal controller board or the drive motor being fried. I haven't tried plugging it into my computer yet because I’m afraid of a short circuit damaging my PC's USB ports.

My Questions for the Community:

Is there a high likelihood that the TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) diode on the HDD's PCB sacrificed itself?
Should I attempt to "shuck" the drive (remove it from the Seagate enclosure) and try connecting the internal SATA drive directly to a PC or a different SATA-to-USB adapter?
If the PCB on the hard drive itself is burnt, is a DIY board swap possible, or does the BIOS chip need to be moved to a donor board?

Any guidance on how to test the internal drive safely without risking my computer would be greatly appreciated!

أصبح القرص raw ولا يتهيئ ولا يفتح وجربت بامج وجربت cmd وكلها مانفعت

The hard drive is now RAW. It's now RAW and won't format or open. I've tried programs and command prompts, but none of them worked.
