Sorry

not I have experience with wd, therefore I made this question before any action… if it will be able to help me…

So, first of all, explain what happens when you connect the drive.

Ok!

Clicking three times and (off) disconnect ..


Thanks...

So, for what you've said, it has 2 heads.
Try to disconnect one at each time and check what happens.
