Rip open the case... connect it to a PC internally and copy all your data ... then buy an external casing and use it if it passes any of the HDD fitness tests.

Thats why its always safe to use a pouch for delicate items like HDDs. First remove the casing and check if the HDD is working. then buy a portable HDD case and install it. But i havent heard about cases suitable for laptop HDDs...

2.5 -> 3.5 bracket is all you need to use those drives inside the case.
