My external hard drive has failed
My external Hard Drive( Western Digital) 160 GB has failed. The indicator light does not light up when connected to my PC or Laptop. Is it the cable , if not , how to retrieve the data inside ?
It sounds like the power supply has failed on the drive. If that is the case, then it’s simply a matter of opening the external drive’s case, taking out the hard drive and putting it in a computer or another external case.
Your local computer shop or technician should be able to do this for under a $100.
Keep in mind all hard drives fail, so backing up external drives is still important.
