Anyone know much about the technical side of computers?

Thing is I had a Seagate 500gb external hard drive, that now doesn't fire up. The data's safe and I have just the hard drive next to me,

Is there any way I can save my 1200ish precious photos and other work?

Thanks!

It's an external hard drive, yep it's portable.

The light did light up and it buzzed and beeped. I've had it sussed the motors knackered.. So even if I tried to use a different power source it couldn't fire up anyway..

What kind of external, desktop kind or the small portable ones? Any lights? sounds? If its a desktop then try replacing the power cable, or try the power cable on a different object and see if it powers it.

If it's a portable....new computer components have naff soldering, and that is probably what is gone in your hardrive, all melted and stuff, this is what happened to mine :( If you have a charger that fits the portable one, something like a PSP one, then that puts enough though the good soldering for it to work.. but I wouldn't say this is a reliable way :(
