Answers :
Do you hear the usb plug in sound (ding dong?) if the external drive uses a power adapter the adapter may be failing and would need to be replaced.
You can try taking the hard drive out from the case and plug it in to the computer directly to see if it works.
Does the drive click or make sounds?
