Does it sound like the disk is spinning? Could be drive failure, could be a machine or cable fault. Could be as simple as dirty disk heads. Are you sure the disk works? Try a head cleaner disk if you can.

From my side I managed to save a couple of floppy drives through a good cleanup using isopropyl alcohol + cotton bulbs. Try to remove as much dust as possible and also cleaning the heads.
