I've 500GB HDD that doesn't spin at all I tested in laptop ,external
It doesn't spin what could be the problem ?
Can it be fixed ?
 
Probably dead and not repairable. If it has critical data on it there are specialists that can recover it but it's an expensive option.
Some drives are very quiet, are you certain it's not spinning?

Assuming it's not an SSD :) in which case not spinning is normal.
