If nothing else has worked and your only resort is to throw away the drive or rma it. I would highly recommend throwing it hard and flat against a hard carpeted surface so that the circuit board is facing up. Often times smacking the drive like this can fix some "head" problems. Especially if it stopped working after you dropped it in the first place. But again, only do this as a last resort. It has worked for me several times. Don't use the drive for long after that though, you should just grab your data off of it and then RMA it or chuck it.
