Sounds bad, TBH.

I am not sure what that is. Do you have a link or model number or anything?


A cheap cable like this may help?

But from what you have described downthread, I think it's dead.

You can try spinning it when powering on to try to free the platters to 
spin. Needs a cable connection not a dock, obviously.

You can also put it in a sealed bag to keep out moisture and freeze it.
