You might want to check into whether you have access to a working drive of
the exact same type. I have recovered quite a few hard drives by swapping
the circuit board from a known good drive. It tends to work over 50% of the
time if you can find a good matching drive.

Subject: [MSUNAG] Hard Drive Restore on campus
Are there any hard drive restoration services on campus. The
down-and-dirty kind involving clean-rooms and actual dismantling of
hardware? I suspect not, heck of a delicate and technical service, but
I am about to recommend something to a user who forgot to do their
backup, and I'm afraid he's not going to like the costs involved. Any
suggestions, on-campus or good experiences elsewhere are welcome.
To be clear, this involves hardware that will not spin up.
I feel this has been asked before, but I searched the archive and failed
to find anything... sry =( Found 'Data Recovery Service' from 11/08 and
entertaining discussion on Freezing, Dropping and Hitting hard drive
with mallet, but no useful names or places of businesses still in
operation.
