Solve : Problem with External HD?

1.	Solve : Problem with External HD?
Answer» My external HD is not turning on. I tried multiple outlets and unplugged and re-plugged it. Any suggestions? The HD has a lot, and I mean a lot, of important information on it and I need it to work!!!Edit- It's an internal HD with an enclosure. What other info should I post to help SOLVE this problem?Well, there are only two options: - dead HD - malfunctioning enclosure Can you hear/feel HD SPINNING?No, the light on the enclosure is not turning on. Do you think the enclosure is broken, but the HD is ok? If that's the case, would a new enclosure solve the issue? Thanks.Could be a short in the power cord. Have you tried plugging it into a different outlet? Quote Can you hear/feel HD spinning? I hope, this is the case. It LOOKS like enclosure is dead. I wouldn't think twice before spending $20 for another enclosure, if you have important data there.Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. If I brought the entire thing to a Radio Shack, would they be able to look at it? I bought it at a CompUSA which is no longer in existence I believe. I don't think, they'll bother at Radio Shack to look at it.Ok, hopefully I'll just be able to pick up a new enclosure then. Thanks for your help.Keep us posted SORRY for the delay- Bought a new enclosure and the problem was solved. Thanks for NOTHING, CompUSACool
