My external hard drive died. Is there a way to bring it back to life?

The drive is a 3.5-in HDD that was originally part of a WD MyBook, which has an enclosure that lets you plug in USB and a power adapter.

I thought it was the enclosure that broke, so I purchased a different external enclosure. The new one, when I push the power button, acts the same way as the old one. The drive never turns on. Nothing spins. No noises. My computer never recognizes the existence of the drive.

I don't remember any type of chirping or odd sounds in the previous months of backing up data.

Is there any part of the drive itself I can replace or fiddle with to get my data back?
