With another Thunderbolt equipped Mac and a TB cable you should be able to force your computer to start in Target Disk Mode and access your data that way.

I don't know if this is late, but that means your hard drive is disconnected, go to an apple store, and if that doesn't work i HIGHLY recommend you to take it to a professional hard drive person to retrieve it, it costed me around 500 dollars, but its worth the money
