As lmckenzie says, I have bought a used drive on EBay for cheap, and transfered the control board to a drive that had a damaged board. It was much cheaper than paying for someone to recover the data for me. But, there was no guarantee that would work until I tried it.

If the drive spins up, you may be able to connect it as a slave or secondary drive to recover the data, but you will need a boot disc to start the computer.
