99% of the time this problem is the result of drive failure on the external drive. I suggest you test the drive with another computer and then replace it if needed.

Good Luck

So you have a 98% probability the the drive is dead. Inside the case is either a standard desktop or laptop hard drive. The USB electronics just plugs into the drive. You can buy a new drive and replace the old one.

Probably no chance of data recovery from the current broken drive.
