Dropped WD

I dropped my WD 1TB Elements Portable and it no longer seems to be working :-( 

The light blinks but, never goes steady. My computer knows it is there but cannot engage. I have tried on two different computers. Is it shot? If so, can I somehow liberate the stored files?

Usually when you drop a drive it gets physically damaged and is beyond do it yourself recovery. Professional recovery may be able to salvage some of the data but it’s not cheap. If you are thinking about that don’t try anything yourself and make it worse. If the drive does show in disk Management it might be possible to salvage some.
