I have successfully brought a HD back to life by sealing it in a
plastic bag and placing it in the freezer overnight.
I know it sounds strange, but I had a laptop drive that simply would
not boot. Gave a "disk controller error". After freezing, the drive
booted fine and I was able to get all the data off of it.
To my surprise, the drive continued to work after it warmed up.
However, I replaced it. My data is worth more than using a suspect
drive.

Yes, I've heard of people doing that and apparently, it can work. Put it in
the freezer next to the frozen fish.

I forget who told me, but it was a friend who knew someone whose HD
was revived by a computer tech using the freezer method.
I thought it was a real stretch, but I had nothing to lose.
