so i take off the top part, and i guess ill see where to connect the wire, is this a special type of wire or the one that comes with it ?
Taking off the top part makes it like a regular internal drive. You can either stick it into a computer or get a wire to connect it to your computer externally.I'll let @Square take it over from here:)

Is this what you need? Because I have one (in Lakewood) which I can gladly lend. Sabrent USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drive Lay-Flat Docking Station for 2.5 or 3.5in HDD, SSD [Support UASP] (EC-DFLT) ($22.99)
not sure, hope @Square can advise ?
Should be good,I just want you should plug it in for a short time, and tell me what it does and how it sounds.
any other type of cable i can use ? can i trouble you to post a link for what i need
Something like this https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Drive-Adapter-Converter-Support/dp/B07SGRBVB7/ref=sr_1_5?crid=P88AIA2OMEY1&dchild=1&keywords=usb+to+sata+3.5&qid=1600273013&s=industrial&sprefix=USB+to+%2Cindustrial%2C165&sr=1-5
thanx, ill try it and report back, prob only after r"h.
@Square do you think it's worth buying a cable just to diagnose? (Chances are it won't fix anything)
He wants to do it himself, there is a chance that it's just the enclosure.
That's always the first thing I try, never had a successful fix from that.Has it ever worked for you?
I've seen it a few times.
just curious, if its not that, is it gone ?
Nothing is gone yet, we need to go step by step.
