i have a Seagate External HDD called Exapansion most likely and it's not working anymore. First of all it started making fast-paced beeping noises but it still worked. Then it was not detected by pc, then the blue light that was making dissapeared. And lastly, it doesn't even move( can't hear any spinning sound). The only thing that makes is beeping for half a second and then 2 seconds nothing and then again beeps.
What is this? Can be repaired or is it over?
Thanks in advance for help!

Yeah, try it in another computer. From your description, it sounds like either the drive's bearing has frozen up (in which case the drive is dead), or the computer isn't delivering sufficient power via its USB port (in which case it should work in another USB port/computer).

You can check your warranty here as well as contact support. If you open the drive like that and you are in warranty it will void it. Suggestions would be to contact support then see what your options are.
