Strange question to Finn and Scroogen, when you power up the hard drive does it make a slight clicking noise? If so, it is indeed dead.

no it sounds like a harddrive spinning when i plug it in…. my problem is that i plug it in and the lights don't turn on and it doesn't show up in windows. If it is busted then I don't feel ripped off or anything... just a shame i never backed up my shit. A whole golden age of internet thievery has been wasted
Here is my suggestion to finn. If you are using firewire, unplug that shit and use USB. My 'Mybook' seems to like USB and will actually turn on/show up/files usable it's just slow as .... well its as slow as USB will allow which is slow compared to firewire. Especially if you are on a windows machine give USB connection a try if it is an option on your model. Just switched in a USB cable in place of the firewire and it seems to be working now
I think the issue is in WD shitty firewire drivers and their absurd button and lights- Mine works with USB... transferring now just to be safe. Finn unless you bricked yours when you dropped it, i bet USB will work out for you *unless thats what you're using already
My external harddrive is about 7-8 years old now and seems to be chugging along fine on USB... ill leave the firewire to mac users!

thanks for the advices guys!
I'm at work and can't do any tests atm…have to wait till I get home in a few to report some progress, or not!scroogen buddy, I'm using USB and the power light is still blinking on mine. going to check if it makes any sounds when turning it on!...hopefully it does
maybe it's just a lose contact?!... -
It's not a ripoff of apple it's just an external hard drive from western digital

Nerkg would like a plaster cast of Steve Jobs penis for Christmas

Haha, I've defended my self before about this but here goes again. I DO have an iphone but I by no means blindly buy/like apple or their products. There big, greedy, and have lost my interest with iCloud being such a waste of time and a huge confusing mess. So I really am not an apple fanboy or anything, I just have to laugh, or get annoyed when companies flat out rip apple off with no consequence, I wish they would think of there own shit. It's sleezy buissness and shames me and America.

Really? I love Apple, in the Tron house we have 2 Macbook Pro's, 2 iPhones, 2 iPod touch and an iPad….I'd consider a plaster cast of Steve Jobs cock a fantastic Christmas present
