Well, the opposite tack simply does not work.  A friend had a Japanese
Toshiba whose disk went to Acapulco when he was in Santa Barbara :-(.
The Toshiba America guys were happy to take a look at the machine, got
it back to him in 48 hours (and even paid the return postage), but
they didn't have the right hardware or software or something to check
out the disk.  So no help.

Japanese repair shops tend to be a little more balky about that kind
of thing....
