Have a look for a local one, you’ll probably have an upfront cost for analysis, but they should be able to give you a cost estimate after they look at it. Good ones will always give you the opportunity to say no and stop trying, either due to cost or if you want it back.
I would think you can get the analysis for less than 150 USD or equivalent.
That said, if it was grinding or screaming when you turned it on, the data is probably already gone.
oh, yeah. it’s a mechanical issue with mine. this thing started clicking while plugged in, so i stopped using it. that was around 10 yrs ago. i think i stopped using it when it was still functional but it’s been so long.
