Hi, I have Adata HV610 and it worked fine until today.I took it with me to a holiday and then it stopped working.When I hook it up, it STARTS spinning, but the flashlight won't flash and computer isn't recognizing it.It has USB 3.0 cable and I think it's broken.I have Win 7 and I tried it on Win 8 also but it's not working.It's just spinnig and vibrating but nothing else.I'm totally desperate, I have 300 Gb of files on it and they are pretty important.Need any type of help.If you think cable is broken try swapping out cable and see what happens.

It is no longer in warranty?
There is a small possibility that either the power supply of the USB interface has failed. If so, you can remove the drive and user an everygency apater to get the data off the drive.
Universal IDE/SATA USB adapter.
Like above is from Amazon. The things is super cheap and even if it only works for a week it is quick  way to get your data back.

Works for me, hope it works for you.





Well I have tried another cable, but it's not working neither.And yes, it is still in warranty, but I don't know, if I get my data back when I get it repaired.What are the ways to get the data from it?The cost of taking it to a tech is more that n what you want to pay. Many techs in the USA will change $35 up just to look at your problem. A data recovery service might want at least $100 to recover the data.

The super cheap adapter I mentioned is what a tech would use to see if the drive works. It costs under $20 and is, IMO, a fair investment.I have three of them. They are good enough for emergency work.

If you have a Desktop computer, you can open it up and connect the suspect drive as a slave drive and see if windows can find the data.In ADDITION to what Geek shared you also have to consider if returning the drive if you dont mind any of the data getting intercepted by any rogue or shady individuals. If you have any data at all on the drive that is extremely confidential then its best not to ship the drive back to the manufacturer under warranty but instead take a loss and sledge hammer the drive and recycle the metal.

When shipping drives back under warranty they generally CONFIRM that your drive is covered by warranty and ship you a totally different drive, usually a refurb drive as a replacement such as Seagate.

Some manufacturers offer a service to recover your data to the replacement at an additional fee. Seagate and Western Digital have offered me this service when sending drives back under warranty. I have never used this data recovery service. I have also decided that contents on a drive although covered by warranty was not worth the risk of a data leak shipping it back and having no control of the wear ABOUTS of the drives disposal to which shady individuals would acquire it in say china and the information lifted off of it and stole for illegal purposes. So I have taken a vice and hammer to drives before that were under warranty that failed and just bought a new one for less than $100 since its best to just buy a new HDD for less than $100 vs LOSE a lot more if someone lifted confidential info off of it that could be used illegally. OK let's say, that I don't get it repaired. Is there any way to get my data from it at home?Not likely if a 2nd cable didn't work...did you try it on a different SATA connection on the MBoard ? ?
Here is some  pictures of your drive dismantled https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2795423/all
It is impossible to remove the hard drive itself without invalidating the warrantee.
I have seen a lot of these drives fail with the usb3.0 to sata interface failing, the crystal seems to fail.
So if you remove the drive and connect it to a desktop computer or one of the adapters suggested there is a good chance the drive will be accessible. Quote
