Take the harddrive to a local repair shop or a friend who knows computers and ask them to try and recover your data. This would be your only reasonable option unless you can try to recover the data yourself. If the platters don't spin up when power is provided to the drive, however, you're likely out of luck.

You didn't have any backup of the drive?

I might recommend a Drobo as a recommended purchase for the future...

There are companies that can recover your data even from a completely dead drive so don't worry, you can almost certainly get your data back, but it will cost you....

Recovery services for dead drives can easily cost in the hundreds of dollars (US) and frequently will even go well into the thousands. It is not cheap.

If you're lucky and the drive still spins up and can be read somehow, it won't cost nearly this much.
