Your WD drive could have a bad logic board, or more likely, mechanical failure such as bad heads.

It needs the services of a pro to recover and if it is not the logic board, it will not be cheap. Typical range for this repair is $1500 - 2500.

When disk spins up, clicks few time and then powers down, it is sign of failed preamp ar heads.

This type of repair considered to be very difficult even for a pro.

I would suggest to do a research, and determine a reliable firm which will not overcharge you for a service.

I am sure you can find a DR specialist on this forum for your needs.

We could do that if there is no media damage
