USB enclosure turns on and off and the computer won’t recognize it?

I have one of these:

A USB mass storage enclosure. I’ve been using it for 4 months and I already installed the driver.
Someone in my house dropped it and now, whenever I connect it, it make 4 or 5 skipping sounds and then it turns off.
Then, it turns back on, but the computer never acts like it’s plugged it.
I does make the sound of something being plugged in and out when it turns on and off, but I can’t browse the files.
What would you recommend?
God no… Oh, fuck!

The magnetic needle has scratched the discs on the hard drive. That drive is now dead! Buy a new drive.
