But if the HDD has some sort of problem, would it work? I took it to best buy, and they said that they're computer blue screened as soon as they inserted it.
Ignore what best buy did and said, they were doing it wrong.
If there is something physically wrong with the hardware then to do it properly you should take it to a data recovery specialist and they will charge you a lot to get it done right. One thing you can try is the fridge trick but that might just make it worse.
However, it is far more likely to be a software issue in which case you could boot off a linux live cd and recover your data that way or you could take the drive out and access it from another PC.
