Now only does it click 10 times, but it does it in a pattern.
clicks 6 times *pause* click 2 times *pause* clicks 2 times then spins down.
If you disconnect and reconnect the power, it does the exact same thing every single time. It's a 1TB WD My Passport Ultra WDBZFP001BBK-03

Bad advice!
How would “seeing the internals” help?
Firstly I doubt the OP would know what to look for, secondly he/she wouldn’t be able to fix it, and thirdly it would introduce contaminants and lessen chances of recovery.
