If your PC hard drive goes unreadable, you can often recover the data by putting the hard drive in the freezer for a few hours and then plugging it straight back in.

doesn't get your data back though!
This is just to grab the data, it does not really fix the drive.

If the oven is not too hot then it would still work. You're trying to unstick the oil in the spring and gears. It drops to the back and then you clean it off (someone I work for is a clock expert).
