A software solution will work SOMETIMES if the data structure is the issue and the drive is still physically working.
If the drive is dead (not powering up, physically broken) then you are looking at $1500+ for data recovery (and thats cheap...). You would send your drive to a special facility with all sorts of crazy clean rooms and they will remove the platters and go from there.
I had a drive die in my work issued MBP, all the work stuff was fine as its backed up to git hub repos and such - but I had used it to quickly dump a camera and iPhone on vacation then never backed up those photos. Lost just about all the photos of the first 1.5 years of my daughter. Still have the drive, just havent shelled out the cash... BACK UP YOUR DATA.
