Hello,
My computer does not recognize removable storage devices, it's been ok for 5years then it just gone off. Power light is still on

you mean like flash drives?

if it's a desktop it might be it's usb ports.

One time my case's usb ports got loose on the mobo and I could only use the ports built in with my motherboard untill I fixed it.

If not you might have to reinstall windows

Try other USB ports and see if you run into the same problem.

The older USB ports were fragile and known to break.
