Failure Types & How Do I Get My Seagate External Hard Drive to Work

• Rotational difficulties: the head movement sound is accompanied by motor squeaky and sometimes a blue screen may appear.
  
  In this case, if you want to recover data from the target Seagate hard drive or let the disk work properly again, you may generally need to open it and replace the disc magnet motor with a new one. Besides, technical means can also be used to try to complete Seagate external hard drive recovery without opening the drive.


• Slow loading process: though the Seagate hard drive rotates properly, sometimes, the partitions may be loaded very slowly. What's worse, there are also chances that only some of the partitions will be identified finally.
  
  This often happens when a bad sector is detected on the drive. And a bad sector may be caused by a lot of factors, such as the end of service life, the aging head and even a slight fall.
  
  

  

  Under such circumstances, you may choose to make use of the image file or dedicated data recovery tool to get back lost data. Besides, you could use special tools to shield the bad sectors to prolong its service life temporarily.


• Failed circuit board: if there's something wrong with the circuit board of Seagate hard drive, it will stop rotating. Meanwhile, the system won't be started successfully.
  
  If you come across above phenomena, you may as well try repairing or replacing the circuit board under the guidance of a professional in order to fix the hard drive.


• Hard drive making noise: if you hear a slight squeak or Kaka sound coming out from your Seagate hard drive, it indicates that the magnetic head is stuck due to an insufficient power supply or unexpected disk fall.
  
  At this time, trying to open the hard drive and reset the magnetic head may troubleshoot the problem; but this needs to be done in an absolutely dust-free environment. (Yet, some of the hard drives encountering such situation may need a new magnetic head.)


• Scratched platters: as the name implies, a scratched platter refers to a disk platter that has a lot of scratches on the surface. Actually, a platter is often damaged in the form of scratching during the reading & writing process of disk data. This is also known as a head crash.
  
  

  

  Knowing that the scratched platters are mainly caused by the head crash, you should do a read & write head replacement for fixing this. Also, an absolutely dust-free environment is required in this process; otherwise, your Seagate hard drive may be broken.
