Totally dead as in "I can't feel it spinning when I put my hand on it"?
That would indicate a mechanical failure and the only way you'll get anything off it is in a totally dust-free environment where the unit is physically taken to pieces. Not cheap, not quick, can take many months and there's no guarantees at the end of it.

Totally dead as in there's no power getting to it?

Check your cables - check your power supply for dust, clogged up fans etc.
Swap the cable powering the drive for another one of the same kind (your PSU should provide you with at least 2/3 sets)
