Lynx you didn't mention that you were suggesting that a professional company with a microelectronic grade clean room did the work. It sounded like you were suggesting opening it yourself and/or putting it in the freezer ...neither of which will work.
A clean room disassembly and HD recovery will likely cost £3k to £5k depending on work required and volume of data to be recovered. Thats what Ontrack used to charge anyway.
From memory, I think there are only a handful of labs in the whole of Europe to do this kind of work.
