1500 GB Freeagent Failed to start, beeping sound

Hi, all.

I've 1500 Gb free agent external drive. It fell down the floor from table, and now fails to startup making strange beeping sound every 2-3 seconds. I don't know whether the drive is dead from such a little shock?

Does there any hint to make it alive? Even for a short periond of time, just to make backup?

Thank you.
