Hard Drive is pining for the Fjords

It's havin a Kip.

It is has ceased to be. this is an EX hard drive

so i want my goddamned data back

It goes click click click.... but it's not detected by the bios...or whatever

I took it out, and hit it with a stapler... nuthin.

hooked it up to a SATA/USB adapter, not found.

Took off the cover...disc spins up, but the arm goes back and forth 3 times (click click click) and rests, repeats.

Tried replacing the board from another drive, same symptom.

Looked at sending it out to have the data recovered, but they start over $1000 even at Geek Squad

any ideas?
