Anyone know any data forensics people?

I have a friend with a 60GB Hitachi Deskstar that's not wanting to spin up. It spins for about a second then clicks loudly and tries to spin up again repeatedly. My friend is a poor college student so anything beyond a college town part-time paycheck or two in cost is too much. We're not expecting anything but I figured I'd at least drop a line here to see if there's any chance of getting his data recovered.

    You're looking at a bare minimum of $600 for pro services, probably closer to a grand. Good luck. :\

    I agree w/ Thrax. Clicking and failure to spin does not bode well. Replacing the circuit board has a (slim) chance of success. Just need to find someone with another 60 GB Deskstar that isn't dead.... Good luck. :(
