If head is stuck on the platter, then you need to take the drive to a proper recovery lab with a clean room to gently move the heads back on the ramp.

One thing is that usb adapter might not be able to supply enough power to operate correctly. Often the usb ports on many laptops and pc's display this issue.
So to be certain you would have to connect the drive directly to a sata port, preferably on a pc system. If the clicking and spin down issue still exists then power off immediately and get it checked by a pro.
