Wasn't an immediate plan until I'd decided how to go about it. I can't
see how a data recovery company could repair a controller chip so I
would have guessed that there is no alternative but to replace the chip
and or the board.

I have recovered data from a Fujitsu MPG series drive which stopped
being recognised in the BIOS by freezing the controller chip (the large
Cirrus Logic chip on the board.) It was necessary to use several cans
of freezer spray to keep the drive going until I had copied off all the
data the user wanted, including her thesis...

This was not cheap; freezer spray is expensive!

If the drive has been left long enough for the chip to actually burn
out, it will need attention from a data recovery professional.
