I recently too apart a friend's external HD as it had spacked out. Turned out it was the interface board between USB and HD that had failed, so by sticking it directly in to my PC, I was able to back up all the files. Then I got him a new enclosure, in to which he stuck his HD, y violet - it worked.
So, assuming you're not worried about voiding the warranty - I'd take the fucker apart. Better that than splurging a coupla hundred bucks on some feckless idiot trying and failing to recover data fro it, before you send it off to the manufacturers, only to get fobbed off anyway.
