You can NOT repair it. Drive repairs are only temporary just to recover data, it will always be more expensive than just buying a new one and even if it is repaired, it only lasts a few weeks at best.
Do you have critical data on it? If not, just forget about it.

Is this an external drive or an internal drive?

Please confirm the model number as you have linked a different drive.
Does the power light turn on when you connect power to the external drive?
Can you hear it "spin up" when you connect power to the drive?

The power light doesn't turn on when I connect, but it spins. I can really remember the model number.
