I since then bought a new SATA cable and new charger but still nothing. I also tested out a external HDD drive cable to check if it worked, but still nothing. I don't have enough money to get it fixed by a specialist so I'm wondering if I can fix it myself?

Here's a Pic, I've been trying to see if it'll spin when connected to a wall but so far, nothing.

It's an internal HDD so idk if it was a good or bad idea to remove it from my laptop. I got it around the beginning of the pandemic. So 2020 or 2021.

Here's the 2 pictures. Is a bad controller board fixable at home?
