Might be a little bit late but I'll try anyway.
Check the board on the hard drive, dust and anything that should not be on it.
remove the board and clean the connectors. Sometimes heat expansion can move something.
Check all the chips and components to make sure something is not loose. solder it back. Also check for Black or damaged components. "Takes a long time"
Use an external hard drive connector, USB with independent power supply. Connect to PC by USB.
If by some pot luck it works, copy Everything ASAP.
I nearly lost my 750GB hard drive, until I relized all the dust went on the bord and messed it up, works fine now.
