What cables do i check?

Not that leet on hardware but check for the SATA connector or any cables connected to the HDD if it is loose.

Other than that, need leet anon for the job

They pretty much can't get loose with all the safety grips and shit. But the HDD could be damaged internally. Try another one and if it works say goodbye to your shit kid; actually say goodbye anyway. And learn not to drop your stuff dumbfuck.

It makes a strange sound too

Sounds like you fucked the HDD unless it's locked by HP ProtectSmart https://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c02502605

And yet you think people here won't notice that it's not the same laptop as in OP picture? And there is already a pic showing the HDD.

Go troll somewhere else, kiddo.

Are you retarded? It's the same laptop at a different angle, i'm the op

What kind of instructions are you expecting us to give you that you can't easily find online?

I can't find them for this particular laptop model

Remove underside screws, remove underside casing, remove then reinsert hard drive.
If you're too dumb, just repeatedly bash the laptop on your bed. First the left side, retry functionality. Then the right side, retry again.
Still no luck? That drive is kil. Try reinstalling an o.s for good measure, but it's almost certainly a dead drive.

so when you gonna post the model no.?

Based on this photo, remove the cables connected to the HDD then remove the screws on the side or any screws holding the HDD in place.

There doesn't seem to be a protective 'cage'
