I have an old TOSHIBA 1 TB External Hard Disk. (HDTC610XK3B1). Just yesterday the drive was doing it's job, but would randomly kill itself, disconnect from the computer, and reconnect. You could hear little "pew" noise coming from the disk as the device killed the power or something. Today, I plugged it in and the computer recognizes it (with it's little "do-do-do" tone, but it doesn't show up in Disk Management nor Explorer. The disk is very important, and has about a full terabyte of pictures and videos, and it would be to expensive to recover. To be more specific, when I plug in the device, the indicator light on the device lights up and the computer detects it, but if you put your ear up close to the disk, you hear a small clicking. When it gives up on the clicking, the device kills itself and restarts. I'm looking for a DIY method to fix it, hopefully, and can not afford to have data recovered professionally, even as important as it is.
Thank your for help in advance, the sooner I can get out of this mess, the better!
