There are no user servicable parts inside a harddrive. They should not ever be opened outside a "Cleanroom" as even a single tiny dustmote can get between the read-write heads and disk surface and destroy the whole thing.
Your drives are toast.
If there is any data worth the expense send them to a data recovery service.

I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another so please feel free to ingore this.

You could try a bootable cd, like Hirens Boot cd or Ultimate Boot disk 4 windows, or Knoppix.

Boot the cd up, & see if you can copy any of the files from the hard disk.
