I accidentally plugged the wrong power adapter to my 640 gb WD external hard drive. After that, my hard drive won't work anymore. I tried to disassemble my hard drive to see if I could fix the problem.
I thought that I damaged the "serial ata bridgeboard power supply" since I used a wrong power adapter. But then when I disconnected the bridgeboard from the hard drive, I noticed that the light would lit and the light of the bridgeboard would turn off again if i try to connect it again from the hard drive. Can anyone tell me what needs to be done?
