I'm sorry to say that this may be due to a corrupt HDD. WD Hard drives tend to die far too fast (I know this too well unfortunately).

If this is under warranty, I would call up WD support service for a free replacement.

If you want to take more invasive steps, I will be happy to help you try and recover your files.

My MSI GT70 isnt working his Quick Launch Buttons (eject button and turn off the screen button). What i can do?
Most likely a hardware problem as software problems of well tested programs do not fail.
I suggest you take your laptop to the shop where you bought the laptop and get it repaired or replaced under warranty.

Blank TV screen
Although very rare with Wiis, you could have a GPU problem or bad connectivity with your AV port. Could be poor solder joint etc.

Hi, go in the settings of your Sony psp and choose factory restore, after it has been restored the USB mode should work correctly.
