Conclusion: you are showing too many points of failure to warrant keeping the drive. Try to get a warranty replacement if you can, and if that doesn't work, just get a new drive. Since warranty replacements are usually refurbished disks, and the new warranty ends at the same time, you'd probably be better off with a new disk.
Yes, but back up anything still recoverable from the old drive before trashing it!
