Strange HDD noise after failure

Here is the noise (I did two trials because the sound occurred at random intervals before shutting down the drive):
Trial 1:

What is the question?
This is an opened drive.

The question is will this drive work under any circumstances? This drive is probably screwed, but is there any way to make it work if even for a moment. There's a 1MB file that I really need from it. I have indeed taken it apart in an attempt to fix it.

Maybe, but not by you. This is way beyond DIY I'm afraid :-(
