Is there a chance for fixing it with home methods?

If the drive was not killed by beeing dropped from the table, you killed it by opening the drive. Sorry to say but a DR recovery now will be very expensive if possible at all. Never ever open a drive outside a clean room if you need your data.

And no, a DIY on dropped drives is not possible because heads are damaged and you will nearly always have media damage. For a recovery from physical damaged drives you need the right tools and there is clean room work involved.

You must speak with local pro, but little posibilities

Besides, data aren't that important to spend money to recover them. DIY was the only way, so I tried
