The first thing you should do is check the connections and cable integrity (using ohmmeter). Also check for bended pins on the drive 40 pin connector. If the cabling is OK, then regarding the HDD "makes some noise" (the motor is probably working) - easiest thing to try is to find another PCB from working drive that is exactly the same model, and swap the PCB's.
Then, if you're lucky, you can backup your data.
