No, this actually works.  Seal the hard drive in a static bag, vacuum
the air out, then stick it in the freezer for ~3-4 hours, and then  plug
it in again.  On occasion, depending on whats wrong with it, the cold
temperature of the drive will allow it to function for a short
while...usually enough time to save some important data.
