The usb port is broken? how can i get to my info on the drive?

It's really quite a simple fix... Simply disassemble the drive casing, and remove the hard drive itself, it's actually quite simple. Then install the hard drive into another, replacement external case - they are available at electronics retailers, computer stores, The best deals are found online at locations such as Amazon, eBay, or buy.com.

depending on the make/model...you will need to pry open the sides..
slowly along the gap..its got plastic locks holding the two halves together

is your hard drive is still under seagate warranty?..if the answer yes you may take it to store that you buy and asked how can repair you hard drive..but if the answer is not under warranty you should go to computer store to replace your hard drive chasing with new one..hope it can solve your problem

if the usb port on your hard drive is broken you can purchase an external usb hard drive case enclosure. remove the hard drive from the original case first and make sure it is either SATA or IDE then you will know which type of enclosure you will need to purchase.

It will be hard. Your laptop should have more than 1 usb port (unless all are broken). You can buy usb hub (3 or 4 ports) for a very cheap price online to use with one of your good usb port.

you can buy a new one and install it yourself. I had the same problem but I fixed it myself. Here is the link.

Its only 10 bucks. I hope this helps!!!!

Yes, if your computer has two or more usb ports available. Plug each individual usb thumb drive into its own usb port. Open up explorer and verify which usb drive has the information on it and then copy all of the information (select all & copy) now drag and drop to the other usb port that contains the thumb drive you want to put the info onto. Each usb port will identify itself with a seperate drive letter.

You can also cut and paste instead of drag and drop.

if you sure the usb ports are broken replace it..can replace that one. ethier second hand or new... if the device is available.......

Do a web search for data recovery.they are high priced but will attempt to recover all info. Most will place recovered data on a brand new harddrive at no additional cost.Suggest picking several and calling prior to mailing. RICHARDM69
