The voltage to you hard drive is DC and the amperage supplied must be on demand. So do not use anything other than the supply power pack.

If you don't have a drive ready light and any activity light you do need to return this for replacement or warranty service.

There is no user serviceable parts.

Tell me who made your external drive and I'll supply you with a phone number.

try a different Adapter for the HD. if it don't work then, the HD is bad.

try another socket on the board. if not working then. you can get a 3 pin to 4 pin fan adapter to power the fan from the power supply. if still no spinning, the fan is dead.
