sounds like the drive has failed. It's possible to open the case and install another WD drive. Since the USB interface electronics seem to be working.
Good luck

Hi Tburn,
Since you've said that you're able to remove the device I'm assuming that it's visible in BIOS. Could you, please, check whether it's seen there?
I would like to inform you that if you open the case and your external HDD is hardware encrypted, it will make all of your data inaccessible besides of the voiding of the warranty.
Have you tried to connect the external WD drive with another cable to your PC or have connected it to another PC?
One thing more, could you please, check whether you can see the drive in Disk management? It could be the drive letter that's needed.
I'm waiting for a little bit more of information. Thank you in advance.
