Yes.If the voltage range exceeds the limit,"astalavista baby."
If the voltage is was below recommended,try plugging in Power Only,turn on,leave for a minutes.This should adjust the voltage regulator back to normal.
SOURCE: Fried HD?
Yep, it's probably fried, a little too much juice went in.
While the drive itself might be ok, the external casing is another story.
Try opening the case and removing the HD and plugging that in on your PC directly as a slave drive.

So Its Not Possible To Repair Such Damage But You Can Take Out The Hard Drive And Plug IT Into A Desktop Computer And Use It At Home Or As An Online Hard Drive To Store Files
