Last time I had a drive with the click-of-death, I froze it in the freezer and was able to recover everything. I tried the freezing trick again with this drive.
(For clarity, the hard-drive was outside of the house, between the window and the screen. I left it out for a week or so.)
NB: While freezing a click-of-death drive can indeed help get it to work long enough to copy the files, this is not how you’re supposed to do it; it will get moisture in it which will freeze into sharp ice-crystals and drastically reduce your chances of recovering your files. Put it in a sealed bag (preferably vacuum the air out of it) and put it in the freezer. This drive and whatever was on it wasn’t important, so I was just messing around.
