Data recovery from Seagate U series 5 which seems shorted

[LordGarfield]

Hello,

I have a major data recovery problem with a Seagate ST 3201413A P/N 9R4003-307. When I connect the power to the hd and power up the system, the system boots up for a millisecond and shuts down immediately. When I try to power up the system again by using the power button, this fails. Only when I disconnect the external power cord from the power supply and reconnect it and then push the power button the system boots up again for a millisecond. With my system there is nothing wrong, if I disconnect the internal power cable and boot up the system everything works fine.
I guess the hd is shorted (short circuit)
My question is if there is any way to recover the data on the disk which is very valuable to me. (I know, I should have had decent backups)
Can I open up the hd and recover the data which is still on the magnetised disks in any way? How do specialised, professional companies recover data? Do they use special tricks or have special tools?

Thanks alot in advance for your valuable replies.

tank you,

Yes, they have special tricks , and they have special tools. But they also have access to spare boards that they can swap out, and in a worst case, can put a new motor/spindle in.
Not everybody that claims to be a data recovery company has the capabilities. Some can do more damage by messing with damaged drives.

Thanks for the advice. I am hoping that someone can unveil the methods they use or can give me some ideas how to try to recover my valuable data.
