Worked fine, moved it to my new place with my other stuff, and now when I turn it on, with the same setup/connections I had before nothing happens

Any ideas?

no its not fucking broken I refuse to accept that, I need real options, its too coincidental that it just stopped after moving, perhaps the shaking in the moving van could have disturbed the connections, but I am unable to open it the screws are too tight and i dont have any power tools =/

Or more likely, the shaking in the van disturbed the read head and scratched it all to hell, ruining the drive.

Have you tried plugging it into another computer? And if it doesn't do anything there, can you confirm it is getting power?

You need to unscrew it to find the loose connection, which is almost certainly the (easily fixable) problem.

The power often comes loose with my external drives... does it make sound / power on?

Don't have another comp, and it is an enclosure, and the LEDs and fan work in the enclosure but the disk doesnt appear when i connect




When I connect it, it doesnt make the connection sound (ba-doop) or whatever, but as I said before the LEDs and fan comes on in the enclosure

do you know how much fucking porn, music, television shows, porn, college stuff, porn that I have on that? Damnit Jim I need a doctor not a demolition crew!

ALSO, FOR BONUS POINTS: In my new place. the air conditioning unit is in my room and has its own outlet below it, and when I leave it running for awhile (half the day) it is warm, and there is a spark when I unplug it, is this normal, its not...HOT HOT..its just warm and noticeable, how concerned should I be?

also i appreciate all of this help, i find myself nervous in my new enviroment (but of course who wouldnt be), someone come to buffalo and keep me company =[, im a paranoid person, my plug isnt as warm was it was and its been like 2 hours, but i turned down the temperature gague from 8 (max) to 2-3ish, maybe I was pushing it too hard or something

you guys are now my virtual roommates, together we can do anything <3 we can reach any star

i don't think you want to be my virtual roommate

*eats all food in the apartment*

*uses all toilet paper without replacing*

*Only comes home at 4AM*

Replace the outlet and/or remove the corrosion on your AC's plug.

Turn it off before you unplug it.

I don't think I can, most of the knobs have been removed. However, I left it on all night for 8+ hours, but turned down the temperature gague like I said, and it seems to be blasting out the same freshing cold air, however it didn't even really get warm and when I unplugged it now there was just a faint blue spark like if you were to unplug anything else

Maybe I was pushing it too hard?

Maybe you should apply Jon'C's advice to all your electronics.

ok my cousin helped me fool around with it and now that its out of the enclosure and connected with this other thing the drive spins again, however, in my computer it just comes up as drive G: and i cant do anything to it

is all my **** gone? did it lose its identity somehow?

i go into disk management and cant allocate the unallocated stuff because its write protected...
