> thats the thing, my brother was told it was broke. But I think its fine and the problem is elsewhere, but I didn’t feel like screwing around with it, but I have pics and videos on there that I would like to keep.

if the drive spins i can get data off it, UNLESS the board on the drive is fried. then i have to send it out to a clean room. that costs money ☹

but if it spins it usually a good sign.

Dont take “tech’s” word on data being gone. the shit i can pull off a drive is scary enough that i wipe my drive on a weekly basis 😉
