Data Recovery is not all that friendly to people good at fixing 'stuff'. An old saying is that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.. Think of if your family Dog had a tumor, and you didn't feel like paying a Vet for the surgery. Would you try and remove the tumor yourself? If you did, and be realistic here, what would your chances really be of curing the dog of cancer, or of the dog even surviving the procedure?
I am really, really good with all things mechanical and electrical. Really good. Since being a teenager, just about everything I ever tried to fix, I did fix. Being an EE later in life didn't hurt either. However, the first 5 or so drives I opened resulted in NO data, and my humbled self realizing I was way in over my head. I stopped murdering drives, and spent years researching.
If you try replacing the heads without a lot of practice, I can almost guarantee you won't recover a single file, and you at least made it much harder, and more expensive, for someone else to recover your data. Before even doing anything, you need a proper diagnosis, and an accurate one will be difficult remotely.
If you want to try 'something', you can try swapping the PCB. It likely won't help, but it will cost you $77 + , and you can say you tried.
In case I was vague, opening the drive is a really bad idea.
Now, if you've decided that, no matter what, you won't send the drive to a Pro, and you'd just toss the drive in the trash, have all the fun you want. Just don't expect your data back.
