What is the serial number of the disk, does it match this one?

I looked at all your images, and this is the picture I get:
Segment: RAP
Parsing segment....... RAP
ВНИМАНИЕ! Контрольная сумма сегмента неверна!
ВНИМАНИЕ! Контрольная сумма сегмента по данным неверна!
End parsing segment... RAP
Segment: UDS_BFW
Parsing segment....... UDS_BFW
Segment: BOOTFLOADER
Parsing segment....... BOOTFLOADER
End parsing segment... BOOTFLOADER
Segment: CAP
Parsing segment....... CAP

But then they are still there:

If the serial number matches, you can try to build a working image.
Yes, that serial number matches my hard drive. What does this mean? Where do I put that data?
I would love to enter that data somewhere and get this drive online and clone this thing. That is what I have been wanting this whole time. The last recovery place told me that they could rip the data off this drive worst case scenario "RAW" and rebuild the file structure. Or best case scenario connect the drive and bypass something and read the drive "as is" with file structure intact and just copying everything to another hard drive.
I thought we might be able to do this together. I don't mind paying for this however, I would have to think about paying over a $1,000 bucks. I just need a minute; but sending my drive out is a whole different story.
Recap:
1-I thought I could swap the bios chip; I failed
2-Sent over to recovery place, they failed
3-Thought we could create a bios that would work (don't mind paying, just need to think about it)
4-Not sure if I want to send my hard drive out
5-Thinking about Professional Recovery Places
6-Starting to get harassed on forums
7-Feel bad, don't want to waste peoples time or be inconsiderate
I really do appreciate everyone's time, but I just thought this looks hopeless and there is no way any of this is going to work. I just need to decide if I am comfortable mailing this drive out to a professional data recovery place, when I just did that with a PCB Board and it was a disaster and they ruined my bios. Imagine if they had my whole hard drive?
Please do not feel that I am not grateful. I am.
