Western Digital 1.0TB sata 8mb Cache [WD10EAVS] external hard drive issue.
Hello everybody,
I foolishly forced a power cord into my external HD (I seen a bright flash) and ever since it will not work.
I can plug correct power cord in and the little light at the front will light up (yellow) however hard drive is silent and is not recognised by computer.
I'm guessing the part of drive that spins (makes noise) is damaged, Am i correct?
Can this be fixed?
Could I fix myself?
Would it be expensive to fix?
Will data be damaged?
Your help and guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Rory
