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,

Comments I've seen made in this forum:
1) If your data is very valuable, send it out, dont try it yourself.

2) If it's a failure in the circuit board, you can try getting a drive of precisely the same model as yours and exchanging the board.

3) If the platters are not already damaged, opening the drive yourself is the quickest thing you can do to be sure your data will be permanently unrecoverable.

Thank you for the information. I thought because this seems rather an electric than an electronic problem, it couldn't be that hard to quick fix.
