Well, i've tried to recover it. i don't have a donor disk, yet. but i take out the head and some magnets. and i take out the platter on the top and put it back. but now it's turned some degrees of clockwise. I didn't touch it.
1) is that important the platter on the top won't be exact position?
2) i pulled out the head w/o using head comb, does that damaged the platters?
should i change the platters to the other disk or take donor disk's head to the broken one? which one is better?
So, did i lose my chance to recover my data? is it over

But you will not have a chance on your own - sorry.
Good that there was nothing important on the drive.

Even though the above statements about alignment not being critical on these models is correct, the fact still stands; you have about zero chances for DIY. A very skilled engineer could maybe get something off this drive, assuming platters are ok.

The donor drive must be similarly prepared as the platters will now be moved from the failed drive to the donor. This is an extra-ordinarily delicate procedure, not only must the platter surfaces never be touched but the relative rotational position of the platters must be maintained. The relative alignment of the platters within the drive is critical, should the platters rotate to even the smallest degree with respect to each other then all data would instantly be lost, files are written across the multiple platter surfaces (as opposed to filling one surface and then moving onto the next). In other words a file may be stored in part on the uppermost platter surface and in part on the one below.

Even if there is such a possibility it must be damn expensive
