TIME CAPSULE CLICKING SOUND & FAILURE TO BACKUP

Hi,

I have a Time Capsule (1T) and it just started making a constant "clicking" sound. When I try to backup, I get the message "backup disk is not available." Does anyone have any suggestions?? Thanks!

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), null

The "clicking" sound is unfortunately a confirmation that the hard drive has failed.

If the Time Capsule is older than 3 years, repairs are not really feasible, since the power supply in the Time Capsule will soon fail as well.
