Hard Drive not starting up, solutions?

My external hard drive isn’t spinning, it makes a really really light clicking noise with a little bit of charging noise like a high powered strobe light (also not too audible).

I know about places that can open up my drive and recover the data, but I really don’t want to pay 800 bones to get some non-vital data recovered.

Part 3—My Question: What are some solutions for a last time start up? I’ve got nothing to lose. Anything at all, I’ll try it, because I’m not sending it in to that repair place.
