Lacie USB 2.0 40GB died

My Lacie USB 2.0 40GB died on me a few days ago: it still seems to be
able to connect (the blue light indicating that the connection is there
is on), but it makes a horrible sound (about 6 times for about 1 second)
and it does not show up in explorer (etc)

Does anybody have tips or tricks for me (apart from "no you can't" and
"try this company who will recover your data")

Thx
bluejohn
