What you need is a tech who could remove the 40 pin connector from another (non-working) drive and put it on yours ..
another possibility would be to bypass the broken pin and solder or direct to the IDE connector. this would also depened whether it is on the hidden side of the connector or the outside where the pins are soldered to the board. A tech might even be able to remove the broken pin and replace it ..
or This could be done by soldering a wire from the HDD and connecting direct to a second drive.
Until someone sees what is the real damage and situation it is not eally possible to be explicit!
If you just want to get the data off from one disk to a new one .. a bodge connection soldering a wire from the missing pin (at the board) and connecting into the IDE cable might work long enough to offload data..
