i have seagate 9sd2a6-500 i pluged it too various computer it wont show up anything not even on the device manager and not even in bios.but when i plugged it too my panasonic smart tv it says 'overcurrent usb please remove'. In other thread i heard some current problem might be there.
From the other thread they said
1) Add external power
a) Buy a power device
b) Or a cable that plugs into 2 usb

2) The hdd enclosure controller circuit is naff
a) buy a new hdd enclosure and move drive into that.

Welcome to the community, aashish_2!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think that your HDD might have failed. The fact that it's not detected by any computer, not even in BIOS, means that it's most probably dead. The error displayed by your Smart TV could be indicating that you're dealing with a failed external drive due to a power surge.

I'd recommend you to contact your HDD manufacturer's customer support and ask for assistance with this. If you need your data back from it, they could give you some data recovery company reference.

Best of luck!
