Old HDD swapped 12V with GND :(

[Marek_6]

I've got old HDD and accidentaly put 12V into GND node. 🙁
HDD model: WD1200JB-00REA0
PCB: 2061-701292-c00 ab

It worked many many years in external box.
After years power adapter for ext box was getting weaker and had problems to run. I replaced capacitors there but without any success, even thermistor was bad, fuse was bad... it was cheaper to buy new power supply than repairing it all over.
So I did, package arrived, I was happy, connected it up and burned my hdd 🙁
I was stupid and didn't look on pins before connecting. It was 6pin mini din connector. There are two variants. Difference is that they have swaped 12V and GND pins. Same connector, same looking, same pins, but different.

Now HDD PCB gets very hot. Is there any way to save PCB? or at least save data? Because new PCB costs around 40$ and it's overpriced for board only 🙁

Thanks for any suggestions.

Mr. Spok says, devoid of human sentimentalism: "So you are saying your data is not worth $40."

Had to bold main question.
Data are vauluable but is there a way to save it without repairing whole hdd? From your answer I assume that the only way is to replace whole motor controller.
Anyway thanks for reply.
