I made a terrible mistake. I grabbed the wrong power supply to plug in my WD 2TB My Book. As soon as I plugged it in, I smelled something burning. It was only plugged in a matter of a minute or less. I am very hopeful that I may be able to access my data still. In looking around it seems others have had this same problem. I'm curious if anyone here can share any ideas that I should try before resolving to expensive professional data recovery services.
I have taken pictures of the boards and other items that may be helpful. The last one of the 2 power supplies I took just to share. The one on the left is what fried the drive. The one I should have used is on the right. You can see all of the pictures here:

Thank you so much.
