Hi there,
As with most external drives I've ever had, this one has just surrendered itself - problem : I never learn and don't have backups of all my data!
Symptoms: no life whatsoever when plogged: no light, sound, noticeable movement inside - obviously no detection on the computer end.
Usually when this happens, I just pull the case apart and stick the drive into a SATA dock and pull off the data. This one however doesn't have a sata socket inside - only the USB cable socket welded directly onto the disk......
So I have no idea how to proceed. I have basic some computer hardware knowledge / competence but have never gone inside components before. If necessary and if anyone could point me towards some good advice I'd be happy to give it a go!
Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer any advice - whether directly or via another source.
Cheers
