Did you get an error message when trying to format the HDD?
wondering if it’s a failed HDD.I hear absolutely nothing from the box at all. Not even from boot up.
If you can’t hear the HDD then it is quite likely that the hard drive has failed.
No nothing, it won’t even let me in to do a HDD test

I think that means the hard drive isn’t working. If the box is still under warranty get it exchanged.
It may be a fault, but I would not do anything drastic for a few days, by which time the TV schedules should have settled down.
Something similar has happened to me a couple of times with the 5000T. In my case a complete power down (remove the plug from the mains and wait a short while) and then power up allowed access to the HDD. If you haven’t tried this it might be worth trying. At this stage you haven’t got anything to lose.
