Ive had a 2TB fall of my table. It recognized it as 0Mb ... mine couldn't spin but i heard a clicking noise. Put in a new stepper motor and mount from another hdd and it worked again. Sounds like it got seized.

You could try a quick reformat? Then recover it onto another drive? If the reformat will do anything?
