data recovery?

[joedanger]

is there anyway to recover data on a HD that does not spin? i've googled it, and there are services in which i can send my hd to professionals. any other options besides this?

Probably not. If it's not spinning, then you need to make it spin to get the data off.

SOMETIMES, it is possible that the board on the drive has gone.

IF this is the case, then you MIGHT be able to fix the drive by getting an identical drive [same model no., same version] and taking the board off the new one, putting it on the old one.
