Will not connect to computer

There is definitely something horribly wrong inside the transmission. Get it serviced immediately. The longer you wait, the more damage will be done.

If you think something wrong with relay or relay connection, check it out. Some relays in fuse box may be interchangeable, so you can swap relays to see if problem follows relay. I'd have to look at relays.

Either the hard drive went bad or the electronics of the enclosure went fubar. Suggest you remove HD and directly connect it to your desktop computer to see if the cmos recognizes it along with the OS. If so you can access your data. If not, the drive is ng - if the drive at least spins and is recognized you may be able to retrieve the contents using windows explorer. If unit will not spin you are in deep doo doo.
Do not format - that will erase everything - try to access the data.

Test your PSU or replace it if your power supply units fan is not working your PSU is faulty

One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or to shutdown or fail to detect/ boot up a computer hard drive

Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions,IDE,SATA

the leads from your MOTHERBOARD TO YOUR HARD DRIVE make sure they have a secure connection and are not faulty or just replace them they could be faulty

make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty even the electrical extensions or just replace them they could be faulty a computer needs its connections to continue its cycle and have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error

even something as small as a faulty electrical extension or fan lead can cause you problems

computers need all of the data and electrical current to travel through every working device and to have an end to be able work properly

motherboard and a hard drive any leads between them will fail before your motherboard or your hard drive if its a flat ribbon 40 pin type IDE replace it this will be the first to fail

check all electrical power input and extensions make sure they are securely seated even the cd/dvd floppy drives need to have current go through make sure these drives are working

also check the Cmos battery and computer RAM modules make sure they are securely seated with no dust built up or in the sockets on some motherboards cmos batteries are soldered in

hope this helps you

i just woke up to the same problem this morning ... i believe my drive has went out

relay?

Do you have another computer you can plug it into? The problem could be with your USB. If it is, see what updates you installed and then removed that may have affected that. You can also go to the manufacturers web site and download the original firmware or updated firmware files.

Right click on my computer icon then go to property then hardware then device manager then uninstall all usb drivers .
then right click on any driver then you see scan for hardware click on it then it automatic install usb drivers then restart computer then connect sandisk to computer.then check.

First thing to do here is to unplug the printer from the computer and restart the computer , then once the computer is already back that's the time you connect the printer back and lets see if the printer will be detected by the computer, if still not and printer is still showing offline, better go to control panel and gp to printers and faxes and click on add and follow the wizard to install a ewn printer that should correct the problem.....

Hi Corson,

I've seen this type of issue before when a MyBook was connected to a legacy (1.1) USB port on an older computer or a laptop. Do you know if you're using a USB 2.0 port to connect to the drive?
