Hit laptop, now it won't start.

I hit my laptop today in anger on the right side near the mouse pad & it shut off & now it won't start. What's wrong with my laptop?

the ticking sound comes because the head is stuck to the platters, it needs a pro to resolve that , or else you can also try by watching some videos in youtube about how to remove the stuck head

So should I try changing the PCB from the NEW HDD I will get tomorrow to my HDD and try the data out. If that doesn't work, we have to open my HDD and unstuck the heads? I just called the professional guy and he said we will try on thursday. Thanks!

I just went to the professional guy and he saw that the PCB on my HDD is fine because he changed it with the new one I bought. He didn't pull out any data, unfortunately. He doesn't want to open the HDD because he needs a dust free room he says.. We don't have that here. I have to pay a lot of money so I can get the data out. Any other solutions before I waste 2k+ $? Thanks! (I'm not gonna spend them right now cause I don't have them..)

As I said I went to the professional guy and he did everything he could he didn't pull out any data. He says the heads might be stuck if not then he doesn't know. He cannot open the hard drive because he needs a dust free room and tools. He doesn't have them. I have to send them somewhere for data recovery which is gonna cost me a lot. Is there any other method I can try? thanks!

check in youtube to remove the stuck heads, as the pro says it needs a clean environment but you can also check in a clean room without dust, just check in youtube
