So my haze 3.5" USB 2.0 to sata enclosure recently stopped working and it's got my school projects and stuff and am really worried bout it. So I think something is wrong with the AC adapter thing because the yellow light doesn't come on.... Its plugged into a wall socket and was working fine until 2 days ago... Would really appreciate if anyone can help...
Also using windows 10.....Thnx

If you are lucky it may just be the enclosure.

I would remove the drive from the enclosure and attach it to the SATA data and power connectors on a desktop computer. You can then troubleshoot the enclosure later, but concentrate on getting your data back. If you have no access to a desktop for this, you can place the drive in another enclosure.

And learn from this...

And learn from this lesson that backing up important data is a very good idea.
