Hi @cipherstack ,

What is the make and model number of the PC or motherboard if a custom make?

Manufactured by LG:Alpha-Sp;

Can't find the model number.

@cipherstack

So there is no product label on the underside of the laptop with model info on it?

It's actually a desktop.

What is the motherboard's board number? Should be printed in the motherboard itself.

Since it appears to start without the HDD connected, (is this correct?) can you try another power connector e.g. has the PC got a ODD installed, that you can use the power connection from at all to connect another HDD that maybe hasn't been damaged.

It mightn't boot all that well if the OS on the replacement HDD was installed on another motherboard since the OS is matched to the system hardware. You may have to reinstall the OS onto the new HDD from a USB recovery disc.

If you have a DMM (digital multimeter) you can also use the paperclip testto also make sure that the PSU voltages are correct as well.

Go into the BIOS and disallow booting from USB devices.

It should work fine if the primary boot drive is a higher priority.

Otherwise some things to try to make sure that the hard drive is completely dead and it's not some other issue:

  1. Make sure you plugged in the appropriate cables to the hard drive.
  2. Try a different cable.
  3. Try putting this hard drive into a different computer and see if you still get problems.

If you try all of those things and you can't get fix the issue, then it is dead as a doornail and you will need to try data recovery to access the data within.

Tried that but the hard drive power port got burnt because of wrong connection.

@cipherstack A short will usually cause a component failure of some sort or just cause the PS to current limit which will cause the supply voltage to drop way down. Some of the cheap adapters are known to have this problem. Just choose a reputable seller close to you.
