WD Terabyte won't appear on computer and keeps making a beeping sound. Is it broken and can it be fixed?

I've had this Terabyte for a year now and suddenly it stopped working.
I listened carefully to what sounded as though it was turning on but then it turned off and at the end of it, it made a beeping sound.
It keeps repeating this cycle for about 3-5 times and then it stops.
But the LED light on the terabyte works and stays on like it should.
I'm talking about a Western Digital 1 Terabyte.
Is it broken and if so how can i fix it?
I forgot to mention that I did indeed drop it a couple of times but nothing serious.
