data recovery - SATA Hard drive not detecting

I have a dead laptop, Trying to recover data from the Hard drive (Sata2)

1. I tried putting the HD in one similar laptop , it's not recognized


2. I got USB-SATA Adapter and plugged the HD , and still the HD is not recognized

can you tell me is there any other possible way to get my data back ?

Answer

Are there ANY signs of life from the drive? Does it spin up, or make any clicking noises? Have you tried plugging it in directly to a SATA port on a desktop?

I once had a drive that exhibited similar problems, but it was definitely powering up (and clicking). I put it in the freezer overnight and the next morning got it running long enough to get all my data off.
