You might consider downloading Seatools from Seagate to try to diagnose or repair it

Maxtor OneTouch 4 Plus 750gb temporary fix / refrigerator
I could not recover any files and the drive would not id on my desktop. I kept plugging in and out the power chord to see if it would ID. It did briefly (3 minutes) and then started clicking again. My whole system would freeze until I unplugged it. Even with SeaTools. Then I thought it was trying to recalibrate to find track 0 so I put it into the refrigerator for 6 hours (42deg F), took it out and powered it up. I was able to back up all my files to my DVD burner and now it is back in the fridge. Go figure......Greg R.

I have just been given a Maxtor 750gb separate hard drive but it has no power adaptor. Would i be able to use an adaptor from my 500gb Maxtor separate hard drive or will i have to purchase a new power...
By SEPARATE I am taking that to mean an external drive and not an internal mounted drive. If IT IS external the same power supply should work fine as the drive motors are the same in both models. IF IT IS Internal then the question is whether your power supply is molex or ATA.

Maxtor personal storage 3200 - flashing green light.
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 have a Maxtor One-Touch III 750GB External Drive that has worked well for over a year. This past weekend the icon disappeared from my desktop and I can't get it back. I'm running a MaxOS X 10.5.5 OS...
mine will also occasionally disappear. i have had to do a restart of the pc which gets it back for my 160 gb firewire external.
the blinking light may be indicative of the hdd going bad, though.

Maxtor One-Touch 4 750gb power light flashes and goes out straight away.
Try to remove the drive and connect it directly to another computer.
If still doesn't spin up then most likely the board has failed.

External Hard Drive problem - Why God!? Why!!?
sure..the power is not the key issue..what you might consider, is calling a local computer fix it shop, and ask how much to recover that data..then, you may be well advised to consider an online back utility, such as you can find here.

One hard drive failure mode is a power circuit short. Contact MAXTOR support on their web site for a possible warranty replacement. BTW, SEAGATE owns MAXTOR now.
