Hello Arihant,

There is no universal solution, but you can try next:
- power off;
- isolate spindle contacts, power on, must be BUSY, it dissapeared within some time, LEDs are off;
- softreset (or hard reset), must be ready in few minutes;
- (optionally) read ID, very slowly ID reads;
- Tools->HDD->standby
- remove isolation, screw the PCB to HDA;
- Tools->HDD->Recalibration
- read ID again, try to read the data
