I have a 1TB Seagate external 2.5" HDD that used to work fine. I don't know what happened to it, but now it doesn't come up anywhere on the computer (Including device manager). When I plug it into the USB to SATA adapter, it starts beeping for for about 5 seconds, then stops. I've had a look around on the internet, and apparently this means that the drive isn't getting enough power.
I've tried plugging it into my desktop instead of the built in 3.5", and I still get the same beeping. I can't see any obvious damage.
Does anyone know where the fault might be, and weather I can just fix/replace the motherboard section, or open it up and try to fix it from there.
I would like to keep the content of the drive, but it is no loss if it can't be recovered. The drive has been dead for a long time, and any issues with lost data has been dealt with. I mainly want to rescue the drive for the 1TB of storage for personal use or selling. So I would preferably like to do it without spending too much money, if any at all.
Thanks in advance
