WD My Passport can't doesn't open

[sohish]

Dear Team,

WD My Passport is working, light is blinking and can see on the taskbar and can open only properties but can't open the drive itself and use, I just connected it with mobile charger cable, does it require some specific cable?

Thanks for your time!

What model do you have, there are many of them, some need external power. Did this one work before with this same cable? It may be the cable, some are just a bit too thin and poorly made.
