WD5000E035-55 Model I just went to plug in the usb from the hard drive and nothing. there is a blue led on the back right of the hard drive that comes on when i plug in the usb into the computer, but today nothing. I checked the plug connections and all good. unpluged everything from power and the hard drive and one by one i tried them. wall to adapter plug i get a green light on the adapter box and it stays on. then i plug adapter into the hard drive and the green light blinks 1 time and then goes out and nothing. i tried this over and over again and then i noticed that the blue light also blinks 1 time on the hard drive at the same time as the green light on the adapter. so either the hard drive is shorted out. which is a possiblity or the adapter went bad. i am thinking the adapter. saw another link about someone having a problem with the 1gb version of the WD Elements hard drive. he said it is a adapter issue. i followed the links to WD to maybe get a replacement adapter and they don't seem to sell it. it is 10pm on friday so looks like nothing until monday on the technical support. will try an email to them and see, but just wanted to let anyone out there that they are not alone in this matter. if u find a place that sells the adapter or information on how and where you got a new one let me know. thanks.
