At first, my external hardisk didn't spin after i dismantle that and reassembled.
Now it spins but it is not detected by the computer. I already checked my SATA cable, it is in the perfect condition

Can you please explain what "dismantle that and reassembled" means? It would also be helpful to know the model of drive and if your goal is to fix the drive or recover the data stored on it.

Well, that answers one of my questions. Although I still cannot give much of an answer to yours without your answering my other questions, but it seems evident that the heads and/or media surface are damaged.

If you want the data, you probably are going to have to send this hard-drive to a data recovery company/specialist and be prepared to pay plenty. Unfortunately, most DIY attempts lead to a much higher DR cost and a much lower recovery-success.
