you are coming off as a complete ass. 

If the drive is not functional as you said it is, and a RAID 0 as you
stated, then your only options are as Alan stated, changing controller
electronics or as Nathan suggested, what is commonly referred to as
clean room technology, swapping platters. Either process would require
at least one identical hard drive to the dead one. 

However, given your nasty replies that your lack of comprehension of the
problem or the wisdom of the solutions being suggested, you can rest
assured that I won't be making any other suggestions on this topic nor
any other that concerns you as you seem to have no ability to appreciate
or comprehend the extent of the answers given.
