If your bios isn't detecting anything then I expect it's the board not the drive itself, hence no clicking etc.
You can usually buy boards online, but make sure you get the exact same serial number board not just a board from the same drive.
I've done it a couple of times and has then worked fine for ages after.. worth a check of ask someone who is selling the same drive on eBay what the serial number is, some list the serial numbers in their ad, otherwise there are several sites that hoard the boards for this reason..
Depends on how much you value the contents obviously
