If the data is really important then stop using the drive immediately and send it off to a professional data recovery center. 

 

Otherwise (if you are willing to take the risk of lowering/eliminating your or even a professional's chances of being able to access the data), you may want to try a third party software recovery tool at your own risk:        https://www.ccleaner.com/recuva

What kind of external dock drive is this?  I had a weird issue two weeks ago with a Seagate external back up drive.  It looked to be totally dead, no power at all.  I bought a new power cord but it still would not start up.  I broke the case apart and took installed the 2TB hard drive in another PC.  It functioned fine so there was some problem with the connection cable.  This looks to be different from your problem but points out that weird things happen with external drives.
