Answer #1
If it makes click click sound, it might be dead. Try connecting it to another computer, if you can see anytihng, copy as much as you can from it before it’s totally dead.
Answer #2
Might be the HDD port or the cable, try connecting to another PC and if the same problem than its the HDD, either its dieing or some component isn’t working properly
Answer #3
Seems like the HDD Board is dead, you might want to repair/replace it..

Answer #7
As said , run the diagnostic and check where the error is and hope u have tried connecting yr HDD as slave in other machine.
If still its not able to detect, I suggest stop doing R&D and take it to some professional, Thinking about yr project in mind.
