Allright /g/, give me all you got.
I have this hard disk (WD Blue 1TB) (> pic related) and it has just completely gone to shit. I have tried numerous ways to fix it, but so far, none have succeeded, here's what I tried and what the effect was:
- Windows partition management - Doesn't detect the drive
- Windows device management - Detects the drive, says it works fine, crashes when trying to view the 'details' tab
- Windows DISKPART command-line partitioning utility - Doesn't detect the drive
- Insert disk into SATA slot, boot to different disk - PC doesn't boot anymore (tried 2 different PC's, booted to a different disk than the fucked one, didn't work)
- GParted (distro-version) - crashes when inserting the disk, if the disk is inserted before boot, pc won't boot
- WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostics for windows - doesn't detect the drive
- Darik's Boot And Nuke (DBAN) - erased the drive it was running from, didn't fix the broken one
Is there anything else I could try? I'm probably going to just say fuck it and have some fun playing with it next week (magnets 'n such).
If there's anything you'd like to see happen, you can request here, I'll see what I can do...

I don't really give a fuck about data loss, just wondering if I could return it to a usable state...
Gently hit it with a hammer on the corner opposite to the ports. See if it works.
That's what you get for falling for the slim meme, these drives are just pushing its limits too far. In all my years using various brands, mainly Seagate the only hard drive that has failed on me was one of these slim shits.

Put it in a bag, wrap it up then put in freezer for several royal hours, then try again. If it doesn't work your last option is to open it then use a can of air in every part then switch on, as the disks are spinning squirt some lighter fluid on to the disks and light it for some amazing pyrotechnical effects
