a friend of mine has a dead hard disk that they need to recover data from. The software solutions aren't working as the machine cant see the disk or hangs trying to identify it.

Does anyone have any recommendations for recovery companies, they are willing to pay for it.
 
try and replace the controller board on the hard drive.

they are willing to pay huh? Are they willing to pay the $2000+ bill that a place is going to charge them?
 
Geek Sqaud will do it. I'm not entirely sure what prices run, but I believe level 3 data recovery runs around $1500-2500. At least its convenient (drop it off at local best buy) and guaranteed.

Have you tried putting the hard drive in the freezer and then booting it up? It works sometimes.

edit: replacing controller board also a good idea.
