Hard drive not getting connected to my laptop

mai departe ce pot face?

Try connecting the hard drive to some other laptop and see if its getting recognized. Issue could be either with the hard drive itself of it could be with the usb port which you are using to connect the hard drive to your laptop.

Looks like the power of your external drive is not functioning very well. Mostly with this kind of issues, it needs a port replacement or the external drive cable, and if it still does not work, then a complete external drive replacement maybe needed.

Hi

Thank you for your query

From the sound you are describing it looks like the drive has become faulty

Unfortunatley the only thing you can try as mentioned aboveis to take the actual drive out and wire it into another PC, but from the sound you are describing I think you may have the same problem

sounds like a broken power supply. If you want somebody to repair or replace it for you there is Hard drive repair. Also there is good information on hard drive repairs on hddguru.com.

Hi, I had this same problem - blue light flashing and the drive not being recognised.

The problem was with the power cord, not the drive.

I solved the problem by unplugging the connection on the power cord between the outlet end and the power brick section, and re-plugging them after flipping one of the ends over.

The drive was now getting power correctly and spun up and was recognised as usual.

if you hear a constant clicking return the drive it is faulty.

the only blue light that i know blinks is the Kmart blue light special .. we need model of things you're working with to properly diagnose.
is it external drive ? with a blue light blinking ? is it connected in usb ? sounds like if its external drive with blinking light could be bad hard disk or bad controller card inside that translates ide to usb.
