I've been through this recently. Firstly, stop plugging it in and trying to get it to work. The more you plug it in, the higher the chances of more damage and corrupting all your data.
I sent my wife's disk off to a recovery specialist, and I think this is how most work from what I understand. He tested it to see if could or couldn't recover data. They only charge if they do get something off it. Trouble is that's rare so fees high. If they need to replace some parts on it to get it working, you pay even though still no guarantee recovery possible.
So can cost hundreds and still no data. If can get data I think it would have added up to close to $1000. We decided it was worth trying as there were first year of our son photos and video on there. But the data wasn't recoverable.
