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?
The last time I sent a hard drive to a data recovery service (for my boss at the time), they wanted over $1000 to recover his pst file from it. I can't remember the name of the place, though, since we pretty quickly decided to just toss the pst file and try to recover his emails from historical backups.
