so i have had a toshiba 2tb external hdd which was working fine until recently, now when i plug it in:

  • had a flashing white light, inspected cable tried to straighten pins now i get a solid blue light followed by a flashing blue light
  • when plugged in i cant access disk management ( window freezes)
  • computer wont shutdown until the hdd is unplugged.

pretty sure i had the same issue about 6 months ago, cant remember how i fixed it

help would be much appreciated
