If you can find an identical working hard drive, the electronics can be swapped over. I've not done this or needed to, but have read of it being done. The hard drive is not opened up at all, just the Printed Circuit Board swapped out.
A Data recovery service may be your only option.

Sure it decreases you're chances, but in 2 out 3 (Jury still out on the 3rd) cases it has worked without a clean room. I guess it would depend on how important your data is if you want to go to the expense of send it to a data recovery service. If you're just doing it for the experience, go for it.
