The scary part is that you TRIED AN OTHER POWER SUPPLY was it the same VOLTAGE??? aws it the same AMPERAGE/WATTS??? was it the same POLARITY??? You could have dammaged the device if you did not respect the power ratings... IT'S NOT JUST A MATER OF PLUGING IN WHATEVER FITTS... You can buy a UNIVERSAL POWER SYPPLY but it has to meet the same VOLTAGE, AMPERS (WATTS), the same POLARITY (tip POSITIVE or tip NEGATIVE) etc... hopfully if the device is not dammaged, bring the storage device to a good electronic store and ask for a equivallant replacement meeting the EXACT power ratings on the device... if it works JUST PRAY GOD THAT YOU'LL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN, if it don't than you've busted the unit, DONT PANNIC you can still recover what ever is on the drive by taking it out of the enclosure and connecting it to a desk top PC via a SATA port and recover the DATA, as for the rest (USB CONTROLLER) than throw it away in the garbage...
Probably not a driver issue - likely the DM 5127 power supply has failed. They fail in a way that lights the lights and may or may not spin the drive. If you have a voltmeter, see if there is any AC voltage on the 12V and 5V rails. If the AC voltage is not zero, the power supply is failed. Fastest fix is to move drive into a new PATA/IDE enclosure.
This is the solution that worked for me. Luckily I have another external drive of the exact same model that is working fine. I used the power supply from the good working model and plugged it into the bad drive. The bad drive booted right up. Evidently the power supply was the issue, not the drive itself. Even though the bad power supply had enough juice to light up the drive, it was not able to make the drive spin correctly.
how do I fix my external hard drive, because one day I turned it on and the drive was fine, the next day when I turned it on, it kept on flashing blue, does that mean that the drive is dead. Please help me with this.
