That being said, if you find the professional recovery service in your area is too expensive you can attempt to free the drive heads yourself but do this at your own risk.

When connected the drive starts to purr for a few seconds, makes a few small clicking noises then discontinues to start.
Recovering data from a clicking hard drive requires having a professional data recovery service look at the drive.
