How do i get data off of a broken hard drive?
Hoagie_one:
removing the platers is next to impossible without destroying the hard drive.

You don't need to replace the platters, replace the control electronics instead. More than likely, the platters are fine, but you hosed the electronics with static, so just swap out the control circuitry.
Hope this helps. If it's an older drive, you can probably ebay for it by part number. What is it?
