You may be able to salvage the hard drive. My drive died last week and I removed the hard drive. I borrowed a drive connector from my neighbor and hooked it up to the drive and to my external backup. It took a number of attempts to start up the drive, by repeatedly plugging the usb cord in and out, banging on the drive, and tilting it in all directions. It finally started up while upside down and I was able to export my data. It may work for you as well.
