The Apple iPod shuffle is a digital music player that contains a single indicator light that relays information about the device's battery condition, computer connection and any errors the device is having. The indicator light is capable of blinking red, green or orange as well as displaying a steady red, green or orange light. The iPod Shuffle includes a Universal Serial Bus interface and buttons on the front of the device for controlling music files.

Blinking Orange A blinking orange light indicates the iPod Shuffle is receiving an update via iTunes to the device's internal components. The update could include a patch to repair an error the player encountered once before, an update to the player's file-saving software, or a combination of security, repair and software updates. Updates are free and automatically sent directly from Apple through iTunes to your iPod shuffle before a sync process starts. Disconnecting iPod Shuffle When the player's light is blinking orange, do not unplug the device from your computer's USB port this will stop the update process and possible corrupt the device's internal hard drive. Let the update process and sync process finish before clicking "Eject" within iTunes and removing the player. Disk Use Enabled If you use your iPod Shuffle as a flash drive and not as a music player, a blinking orange light means that the device is connected to your computer and ready to accept files. The "Disk Use" enabled setting is changeable within iTunes if you decide to use your iPod Shuffle for music storage instead of file storage. When set up as a flash drive, the iPod Shuffle is assigned a drive letter by your computer's operating system and the drive lets you "drag and drop" files to the device. b> Charging If your iPod shuffle's battery is completely depleted or low on charge, connect the player to your computer immediately for charging then leave it connected to receive any updates to the device's software and internal components. Its indicator light may or may not blink orange until after it is fully charged. If the battery is low on charge or completely depleted, you may receive an error stating that the iPod is corrupt or needs restoring, close the error message and let the device fully charge.

what os do you have

An external storage-device has four major components:

* the USB cable

* the power-adapter

* the disk-drive inside the enclosure

* the USB-to-disk-drive adapter inside the enclosure.

One of these components has failed.

Try a different USB cable.

Try connecting to a different USB port on your computer.

Try connecting to a USB port on a different computer.

Take a "multi-meter" and measure both the voltage and amperage output from the AC adapter, and compare with the specifications on the label on the adapter.

Open the enclosure, and remove the disk-drive, and then connect it as a "slave" disk-drive in a desktop computer, to see if it works at all.

Purchase a new, compatible, disk-drive, and install it in the enclosure, to "revive" your external storage device.

Get the part-number and serial-number from the label on your disk-drive, and access the manufacturer's web-site, and use "check warranty status", to see if they will replace the device, at minimal cost to you.

There exist commercial "data recovery" services that can try to repair your device, just long-enough to rescue and copy your files. For example, see: https://services.seagate.com/index.aspx?lng=en-US for a "no data - no charge" guarantee.

it seems u have a sata or a ide drive fitted in the casing
please open the casing and remove the raw hard drive and connect it directly yo ur computer.
it will start working .. do this if you are urgently needing to work on pc with this drive. this is a shortcut if you wish to ascess your work.
later you can on monday get your adapters checked. i dont feel adapter is faulty in your case.

You may have a problem with your drive or the usb ports so we need to check both. The green light usually just means the device is getting power.

The first thing to do is unplug the drive and reboot the computer. Make sur eit has finished booting up completely. Then plug it into a different usb port NOT the same one. If it detects and works it was just the operating system or motherboard not recognizing whats called a legacy usb device.

Next we want to try a different usb device in the computer to make sure the ports are working.

And we want to try the drive in another computer to make sure it is working.

At this point you will know if the problem is your drive or the port. If it is the drive you can get it runnning again sometimes by taking the actual drive out an dputting it into a new external drive enclosure kit.

Solution:
First, disconnect the power cable from the back of the external hard drive:
If the power supply LED continues to blink:

1. Connect the power supply to a different outlet (or instead of connecting to a power strip, connect directly to an outlet in the wall).
   
   
2. If the power supply continues to blink after changing outlets, this indicates that the power supply is defective and needs to be replaced.
   
   
3. If the power supply stays solid, then reconnect to the external hard drive and see if the drive spins.

I'm not sure if this is a solution, but it worked for me. ( who knows how long it will last, but its working for now)

Below are the steps I took:

- uninstalled all the HP drives and software
- unplugged the USB cable from the computer and printer
-unplugged power supply from the outlet and printer
-plugged the USB back in to computer and printer
-unplugged the power supply from the power module. Made sure everything looked ok,
-reattached power supply cord to module ( Made sure everything looked ok,)
-plugged power supply in to outlet ( green light was on)
-proceeded to plug power module connector to printer. ( again, making sure proper connection was made.

* this time the screen came with an error and the "on" power light was blinking.:
This was the error message:
Error:

0xb9000009165:

-I proceeded to unplug the power and usb from the printer
-downloaded the lastest drivers and software for the PSC 2350
-After the software was loaded and installed ( I checked the box to install with out USB communication at this point)
- plugged the power and then the USB.
-It came to life at that point. (the computer recognized the "new" product)Going through what I presume were several realignments or internal configurations.

I tested a page, and ran the HP Dinostic's page. Everything checked out, and its running fine for now.

I hope this may have given you some ideas as to fixing your printer.

It sounds like it's failed, and needs to be replaced, WD will ship you a new one if you give them a credit card, then you can send that one back, don't forget to send it back though, or they'll charge you several times what you could buy a new one for at your local shop.
