attachment will not connect to the drive - can this be repaired ?

Sorry, that is not enough info to get on. It is about a $60 attachment, so mailing it in for repairs would probably cost more.

Hi Richard,We recommend you contact Sony about this matter to see if they can give you specific feedback about repairing this. We are sorry we couldn't be more specific, but we would hate to give you wrong information.

Drive is powered by the computer (device) it is attached to. There is not external power or plug to attach one.

Thanks Dean, the drive was working so the format is probably OK. When you plug in the USB the charge light comes on but the data side is obviously not working as the drive is not recognised. You can hear the disks spinning but they are very quiet. Thanks again for your help. Regards: Brendan

Disassemble and make sure the final cable (can't remember what it is called.. But it's the last thing you do before you start re screwing everything together) is clamped good. I had to give it 2 tries before this worked. Good luck!

Molley, hello: The ability to retrive data from an inoperable hard drive depends on a number of things. The most important factor, in my opinion, is whether you've waited too long to retrieve data; as a result, some or all data files may have become unretrievable. Assuming that you've not waited too long and thereby not compromised data, I recommend that you buy and try the NewerTech universal device. My "external" hard drive (on a Mac platform and OS) had been clicking quietly for a week without engaging; it was unable to back up files as scheduled. I ordered, received, and utilized the NewerTech universal drive adapter. On my first connection and try, the adapter recognized my external hard drive, located all the files on it, and accepted my request to transfer those files to a new external hard drive replacement. I was happily surprised that all files were located and transferred with no loss. There's no guarantee that the NewerTech Universal adapter will be successful. If I were you, I wouldn't wait any longer; neither would I send the drive to a facility that attempts to retrive files because of the cost of doing so; I'd but the NewerTech USB 3.0 Universal device. HTH. Warren

My drive has never worked nor have I received a replacement so I can't tell you.

1) Try a different AC connector/cord. You probably do not have one but if you bring you Seagate into a Radio Shack, they probably will let you try a compatible connector/cord for the possible sale.2) Go to Seagate support (www.seagate.com/support/ý)

I am not familiar with the drive you have but if the connections match, give it a go. In my situation, it was the PC that crashed with a healthy hard drive. All I had to do was remove the hard drive from the PC and hook it up to Apricorn and I was back in business. I wish you all the luck!

You are very likely out of luck! I had a similar problem when I got a new hard drive and contacted the company for help but never got an answer. They are very likely out of business. So what I did was download a program called Chord Pickout. It's not quite as feature rich but it does the job

I had exactly the same situation and the same mSata drive. It would not work. I contacted the seller and they have sent a replacement board (not the entire enclosure). I have not got round to trying it yet since the mSata is now in my laptop. Suggest you contact the seller.

Only if you have SATA connections available to work with...otherwise find an IDE drive.

This isn't the place to ask for tech support. If you believe you have a problem with the drive, you should contact Western Digital - support.wdc.com

This has been answered (although evidently the designs keep changing slightly), but the next issue you will find is putting it back together. If you have a 12.5 mm drive, it's a challenge such that I gave up and just taped it together with electrical tape rather than trying to get the tiny screws back in place. tape works beautifully.

Try another drive. If it recognizes a different drive, it is not an issue with the adapter and is likely a bad drive.

There is nothing on the device itself. You will be prompted on what to do when you attach it to your computer via USB cable. I had trouble with my set up, and ended up calling Customer Service at Seagate. A very knowledgeable and helpful guy talked me through what to do. I allowed him access to my computer, and we got all the bugs worked out. I'd say if you are stuck, go to their website, and call Customer Service.

YEs, make sure that you "mount" the drive correctly first otherwise it won't work. Suggest that TRIM be enabled as well. There should be some installation videos online as well to help you get it working.
