The weak link in all exteranl drives and video servalance is the power supply it is best to replace with 12vdc 3amp 4 amp is best
ive collected serveal NAS boxes and servalance recorders all needed new power supply only "Keep voltage " correct and always increase amp at least by 1 amp out to 4 amp raided will last longer
Always eject external drive no exception or power off system

Go to tiger direct or new egg for the best prices. Make sure that the power ratings on the new one is the same or higher than the old one.

i own the exact same drive. i'm looking for a spare power supply, came across this website, and saw your problem. the power supply is 12 volts dc at 2 amps. the connector that gets plugged into the hard drive: center pin is power (positive) and outer "shield" is ground (negative). hope this helps.

I have an Astec DS 1500-3-001 power supply that I want to use a a stand alone PS. What pins do I need to connect to get +12v DC output with 120 VAC Input.

Mike
I take it that this is a standard power supply out of a PC (switch mode)
These are a common connection point on any brand PC
Use a DC Voltmeter to find the Ground, +5 Volt & +12 volt wires to power your 3.5 inch Hard Drive. The 2.5" Hard Drives (laptop) has only Ground (Black) & +5 Volt.

My maxtor one touch is not found on my white macbook

Several things could be happening here:
1. your electronic controller in the hard case has failed.
2. you didn't properly disconnect the external hard drive in Windows > with the
"Safely Remove Hard ware and eject Media" in the task bar.
3. if you have a power supply to the USB drive it may have a damaged power connector or not supply proper power to the device.

I have a maxtor 120GB external hard drive but no power supply. How do I get a replacement? I tried a switchable power adapter from a local hardware shop and although I set the voltage to 12v it lights up...

Hi Dave.

The problem you are having is the adaptor you tried is the right voltage but not the correct ampage. You require a 12v dc adapter with a rating of at least 1-Amp. The switchable supply you purchased would be well under the required level, probably 400ma (milli-amp), in other words about half the needed amount. A cable modem power adapter would be sufficiant. If you have one, make sure it is the correct voltage and polarity, positive pole (+) usually the inner pin on the end of the connector. Hope this is of some help to you.

My Maxtor 3200 has a gren light that is now blinking and the computer cannot start the drive. Code 10. What does this mean?

I had this problem. I learned that the power supply was defective. You can purchase a 12V 2amp power supply. This solved my problem. My green light was coming on but my computer didn't recognize the drive and I got the same Code 10 cannot start drive. I purchased a 12V 3amp power supply. It doesn't hurt to have more amps but you need at least 2amps.

Lost power supply

I think you might find this link most useful, from the Seagate Community Forums.

http://forums.seagate.com/stx/board/message?board.id=onetouch&message.id=1973

In short, others have had great difficulty buying Maxtor replacement power adapters, however you can buy a generic 12V, 3A DC power supply for $15-20 from a number of sources. Confirm your actual power requirements by referring to the product label on the drive itself.

Hope it helps,
Mike
