If the issue is physical, like the motor won't spin or the heads have damaged the platters then it's kaput?
Can you swap any components on the inside?

You need to find a logic board from an identical drive. It's one of the methods used by drive recovery companies.
You can't swap anything inside yourself. You need a clean room to open up a drive.
There is an analogy, goes something like this, a head flying over a platter is like flying a jet at Mach 1 a foot off the ground.
