If there was actually some kind of burning in the HDD them it wouldn't be too surprising if your data was gone. But you could try data recovery services, there are some free ones.

If you'd like to go the recovery route, you can try Seagate Recovery Services, there are also many 3rd party companies that do this, you'd just have to search around for recommendations on what other users have liked. 

If you'd like to find out if the drive is under warranty still, you can use our Warranty Validation tool. If you'd like to, you can get in touch directly with Seagate Customer Support here.

Pretty much all data recovery services are expensive no matter where you live.  It's a specialized skillset and in demand.

 

This is why you need backups.
