Fixing a clicking hard drive

Hi, so my rage got the best of me and I hit my computer. When I did hit it, nothing happened, nothing changed, as the OS and the game were installed on an SSD, continued playing as nothing happened. But I needed to restart my computer for something and it took really long time for it to boot up and it made strange noise. I take out the hard drive and everything’s fixed, tried using an enclosure and the result was the same, it made clicking noise and slowed down my computer to a snail and it wasn’t recognized. I know the chance of fixing is small, but I just wanted to know if there’s anything I can try to bring it back or something. I don’t have anything important on it, but additional 1TB hard drive wouldn’t hurt :D

That usually means the read heads in the hard drive are stuck from a drop or impact. It would require opening up the drive and using the proper procedure to undo a stuck reading head.

Problem with this is that it would compromise the dust-free enclosure inside and any dust that gets in the hard drive will cause the hard drive to fail quickly.

As it’s reading very slowly it’s most likely the reading heads are damaged and would require a read head swap (getting a identical read head with the right pre-amp is extremely hard to do and requires getting it from a identical donor drive as even the same model can have multiple different pre-amps depending on the manufacturer year and month).

TL:DR - There isn’t any way to repair thats cheaper and quicker than buying another hard drive.
