| 803399 | 2009-08-22 23:46:00 | Is it an internal drive in a case or an external only? Do you have another computer to try it on? |

| 803400 | 2009-08-22 23:48:00 | If you hold the External HDD when the power is on, can you feel any movement in the drive? Or hear the HDD is actually spinning? Could possible be that the power connector has faulted. You could try putting it in a different external case. | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 803401 | 2009-08-23 06:08:00 | Hi Agoge, have you had any luck yet?. WD 750gb on this pc went dead three weeks ago. Problem was the adaptor, they have replaced all 7pin adaptors as they were causing problems. They have replaced the old with a new WD 750gig drive, 3 pin I think and they transferred all of the data on the old one for free. Noel Leeming purchase. Lurking. |

I'm starting to think that you may be right. My adaptor's light flashes green for a mere second or two before petering out. Can I simply replace the adaptor? |

No, it's an external, a WD 750gb, and I don't, unfortunately, have another computer to try it on. Lurking's post has given me hope that that it might simply be the adaptor. |

What he meant was for you to remove the HDD from the external case (if it's not a sealed unit, it may void your warranty if you do though) and try hooking it up directly to your computer to check the drive's ok. |

Mine was only 9 months old, and make sure they transfer data over, although they don't legally have to. Lurks. |

It was, fortunately, still under warranty, and it did turn out to be the adaptor. They are both going to replace the hard drive and transfer my data. It's quite a relief really. Thanks to everyone for your amazing help! :thanks It is so good to know that there are folks like you out there so ready and willing to help when such problems arise. Cheers, Steve |
