if the warranty was up.
i would take a close look at the connections from the cable to the board. i say that because people have brought a hd to me to check. i disconnect the external and plug in theres. then plug mine back in. of course the connector was pulling off the solder joints. just had to retouch the solder connection.
or take out. hook up internally on the computer.

save the hd if ya can. external don't cost nothing. you can always buy another with usb support without a drive.
my next will also have a fan. if im archiving it does get hot. i leave the case off all the time now.
