My Passport works only a few minutes after it is plugged in, then LED is not blicking

Now the drive completely stopped working: when I plugged it in laptop or PC, the LED stays solid on ---- no flashing.

and it is not recognized any more. Before this, my laptop could read it for a few minutes (LED was flashing) before LED changed to solid on and failing.

I guess it is time to send it back to WD.
