Hi,

I have a 250GB Iomega external hard drive. It has two cords coming out of it; a usb cable and a power supply cable. When the hard drive used to work you could hear it working and a blue light would come on. However, it is now silent and the blue light does not turn on and my computer does not recognize it. i was wondering if anyone could let me know what is wrong with it and what i can do to fix it or retrieve my files off of it?

Thanks
 
well it sounds like its not receiving power so make sure the power brick is connected to power ortherwise you will have to take the external enclosure apart and take the hard drive out and connect it internally with sata and power from your computer and see if it recognises it
