Iomega external HD no longer recognized

[xlation]

5 year old external HD no longer recognized. Was working just fine until today. Only used once a week to backup files.

The light on the case is on, but it flickers rapidly, which was not happening before.

Checked all connectors, tried a different USB port, even tried a different PC.

Also, it does not show up at all in Disk Management.

Any help will be appreciated.
