Welcome to our forums. Before I answer your question, be sure to read the special notice in the forum announcements about these forums shutting down.
The LaCie external hard drives are famous for poor electronics and failing electronics. I'm guessing your drive is OK but the case and electronics are either failing or have failed. The remedy is to remove the drive from the case and use an adapter to get at your data. If the LaCie is still under warranty you do not want to remove the case as that will void your warranty. However, if you have data on that drive you need, the only way to extract it is probably what I suggested above.
