So I have a Seagate 500GB drive that seems to have suffered a head crash in the past week. It makes a springy sound and then makes a noise that sounds like beeping but is probably the arm clicking or trying to dislodge or something.

Has anybody used a data recovery service for a severe problem like this? I'm think it's mechanical and not just the PCB which would be easier.

What was the price range?
