If it's shorted out there is a chance that replacing the circuit board on the hard drive will allow it to function once again. I'm not sure about others, but ebay seems to be a good source for getting just the board.

I've got an HDD that I use as a backup-for-a-backup that seems to be shorted out. When I give it power, whatever box its in will not turn on, and I'm pretty sure I toasted an enclosure. This is all personal data, music and such, not something I'm at all willing to put money into recovering unless it's <$100. Anyone have any luck with issues of this sort?
