To the good people at tech support.

I have a seagate 120G external hard drive. My wife was cleaning the computer area and removed cables and such. When she went to replug all the pc harware plugged the wrong ac adapter into0 my hard drive and her description was " smoke came the top"
The power light does "NOT" go on. However, when I plug it into my computer it makes a tone. Can I salvage the files on the drive? And if so how?
