WD My Book Essentials hard drive wont connect.
It was working fine. Now when I plug in the USB, it makes that chime sound that a USB device makes when it is connect and disconnected. Seems the hard drive is flickering on/off or something. Tried with a different laptop (in case my USB 3.0 were corrupt)... same thing.... my other USB 3.0 devices work fine (so laptop USB 3.0 drivers are fine). Think maybe the power supply is shot? Other than replacing the power cord, any other ideas (I don't have another available, could get one online, but that will take a few days to deliver.
