Hello
I recently purchased a WD 2TB My Passport 2.5 inch. I got it home, plugged it in and it worked for about 10 minutes, just long enough to get some data on there. Now it is not recognized by my computer and basically freezes it every time I plug it in. I have read on the internet that the USB connection is stuffed and that I need to connect the drive directly to my computer.
I have searched the internet but cannot find any tutorial / video of how to connect this particular drive to my computer. Thus far I have managed to remove the case, and have in front of me 7x2 pins, the USB connect and 2 horizontal pins.
Any step by step help on how I connect this drive to my computer would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
