Well by opening the hard disk to the elements like airborn debris...it is pretty much dead now. If it had a chance to be saved, those chances were destroyed when you opened it up.
I had this same drive and it did same noise! I had another drive with a good pcb but bad heads, replaced the board from the other drive and quickly copied data off and it was all fine!
do what i do and place the platters together then scrape groves into the surface, restore the previous platter configuations and lightly press a screwdriver into the groves (wear ear muffs whilst doing this). it'll p*ss your neighbours off!
Hack it. Paste with epoxy or super glue sandpaper to the top disc of the hard drive, remove the head and use it (SAFELY) to grind metal at between 4200 and 5700 RPM
P.S. WHen it breaks, the magnets can be used to create energy.
This baby has rythm! 1 in a milion hard drive xD R.I.P.

Try giving it a light tap on the side with a hammer. That sometimes frees the read head.
