Yeah you can try either the freezer trick or in the microwave. What that does is un-stick the flywheel thingy that's producing the 'click of death' you are hearing.

Other than that you gotta send it off to a lab. There's a company here in NYC who will look at the drive for $60 to determine if it can be salvaged via a lab. If yes that $60 goes toward the $125 minimum the lab charges. If not, good-bye $60. LOL

Also: WD (Western Digital) is known for the 'click of death'. So that's why I switched to Toshiba years ago and have never had a problem now. That, plus multiple (Toshiba) backups.
