Assuming you don't want to attempt this repair yourself (which I wouldn't recommend if you don't know what you are doing.) you would have to take it to a professional hard drive repair company. This can be extremely costly (think a couple grand) Google is your friend.

You will need to take/send it to a data recovery specialist -- typically these specialists are used by the corporate/business sector, and that means it costs a small fortune. I've never used such a service so I can't give any recommendations or addresses.

Too late now, but you should have saved backup copies on a second hard drive or even on DVD-R media.
 
depending on the drive a straight board swap might not work u may need to transfer firmware from patient to donor some suppliers not hddzone include this service for free if u need more help u will need to provide more information until you do that nobody can help u
