Can anyone help? I took my hard drive out of my computer today to clean out the insides of my case and i needed to know what model it was, and i managed to push one of the pins in/down so only part of it is sticking out. What can I do/what do I need to pull it back out? Is it possible? has this happened to anyone else?

Yes, I used pointed nose pliers to pull it back out.
Sadly, that pin is probably loose now.
I hope its one on the outer edge as it will likely need soldering into place again.
Mine stayed in place electrically and physically after I set it back in position and I didnt need to solder it.
I count myself lucky.

You can get an identical drive and pull the drive electronics off the good drive and put it on the 'bad' drive.
