Have been trying the suggestions like hitting and dropping the hard
drive. Have not tried the freezer suggestion yet. Am wondering if
can short out anything if there is moisture condensation inside it?


Doesn't work _now_ , does it?


Besides, the instructions for the freezer suggestion said to seal the unit
in a baggie before freezing and to keep it in the sealed baggie until it
warms to room temperature, so that all the condensation ends up on the
outside of the baggie and not inside the drive.
