A so-called "headcrash" occurs, if the write/read heads crash onto the ferromagnetic surface of a hard drive. As a consequence, the heads as well as the surfaces get physically damaged. This often happens after a fall or concussion, but also wear and tear or temperature fluctuations can be possible causes.
We recommend not to try any recovery attempts on your own! Every time you power on the hard drive, the surface damages get worse and worse, which will minimize the chances for a successful hard drive data recovery.
You can identify a headcrash as follows:
