If a hard drive fails to power up or make any noise at all there is most likely some sort of electrical malfunction occuring either on the circuit board or in one of the components of the drive.  Repair often entails using donor parts or highly technical electrical processes to repair each component.  An electrical malfunction often also causes other problems with the drive, which will need to be addressed after the electrical components are repaired.  Luckily, in most of these cases the data is completely recoverable, but the repair process can be extensive.

Sometimes, there can be problems with the hard drive specific operations known as firmware that would cause a drive not to power up.  These problems are very difficult to fix and require specialized tools as well as specific expertise with each hard drive manufacturer.

Our technicians have extensive training in both the electrical and mechanical functions involved in the operations of hard drives.  Most all problems are completely recoverable and will cause little if any corruption within the data stored on a drive.
