Just looking for some testimonials. My external may JUST have failed. #SMH
I ejected it for just a few moments and replugged it and now, I just get a flashing light. Did some quick research and found the mother thread describing the same issue. Plugged it in a diff 10.6.8 laptop and the same results. Anyone have this happen?? I read some solutions from changing the power cord, to plugging it in a windows box and back to a Mac (which worked apparently?) to put it in a fridge (?!?!).
Anyhow, i'm still going through some testing but it's not looking like the best. The drive spins - which is good news (?). Anyone know an affordable data recovery provider, or is that a contradiction in terms?
