Hi,
I have a WD as well and have had a couple issues. You may have looked through this already but I have attached the WD troubleshooting walkthrough for drive visibility and connection. At least if you follow these steps and don't manage to fix the problem you will have a clear representation of the steps you have already taken.

Hope it helps.

I tried it and got the following results:
Quick Test: Went nowhere after three bars
Extended Test: Too many bad sectors
I've also tried accessing it with Linux but no luck. I guess that I'll have to got a data recovery center to my files.

It might be worth asking a question directly to WD in case they know of any specific issues that the can address first. You can share the results from the diagnostics you mentioned above and I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to ask them if they have any discount options available for data recovery if you have to go down that route.

Sorry couldn't be more helpful on this...gets a bit more difficult when it could be a hardware issue.
