Hi,
I have a 1TB Seagate Ext Hard Drive (Backup Plus, model SRD0SP0) that I use on the TV. One day it suddenly cannot be read by the TV and the Computer as well.
Its status light turns on (does not blink) when plugged in (USB 3) and after some time (about 30s after plugging in)it turns off permanently, or until I plug it in again.
The drive does not show up in Explorer, nor detected by Disk Management, testdisk, Recuva, or DISKPART>.
But its driver shows up in Device Manager, but only until the light is on.
The drive does not make any noticeable noise, but when I put my ear on the drive as I plug it in I hear constant beeping for a few seconds (i timed it to approx 5s) then stops (all the while the light is still on).
And, the Windows sound that plays when you plug in a drive will play, but not the sound when plugged out when the drive (apparently) powers off.
Did the TV corrupt the drive to some degree? Or is this a power problem?
Thanks for any and all help!
