Hi everyone...
I have a GoFlex 1.5tb drive. I had regularly been using it on my Mac to copy files on, then plug into my LG digital tv to watch movie files. I also had no problem plugging into PC and viewing or editing files that way. Whenever I would plug into my Mac, the drives icon would automatically appear on the desktop. Whenever I would plug into the tv, it would automatically recognize the external USB device. Last week, the drive seemed to be intermittently working on the tv, only sometimes appearing. I tried it on my Mac, and it will not recognize at all. The problem is, when the drive is plugged into the power + TV/Mac, I can hear the drive start spinning, but no lights appear. I have had a similar problem discovering the drive on my Mac before, though solved the issue with re-installation of drivers I think. It's a new problem for the tv.
Just wondering if anyone has experienced similar problems, with TV/computer and if anyone has any ideas for a solution? I am not sure if the cause of the problem is the tv or mac, but the problems seemed to start with the tv, this time around anyway. I had thought maybe the problem with the goflex might've come from once or twice when it fell on its side from standing up. Help would be hugely appreciated...thanks
