sounds like you are using the wrong power supply. Check the amp output on the power plug you plug into the wall make sure its the same as the amp input of your external harddrive

Hi,
Sounds like you have either bad voltage from your power adapter or a failed enclosure.
First thing to do is check the ac adapter your using, find the output Voltage, should be between 5-16V and the output Amperage, should be between .25A and 5A depending on the type of seagate enclosure you have.
Now look at the stickers on the outside of the drive enclosure to verify that it uses the same voltage and amperage. If it doesn't you're using the wrong adapter(easy mistake after a move). If it's the correct adapter then you may have had a failure in the enclosure.
The next thing to try is to take the drive to your local PC shop and ask the technicians there to transfer the hard drive inside it into a new enclosure for testing. If this works buy the new enclosure and you're on the way. If this also fails, something has failed in the drive itself and you will need the help of a pro. Have the technicians either return it to the original enclosure or pack it in a static free bag.
Now you have a couple options. I can refer you into one of several professional facilities depending on your needs. The most common one I use is www.armor-it.com They are the least expensive on average but average 4-5 weeks for non rush orders. If you need a faster turnaround and don't mind spending a few extra bucks, reply back and including your Country, City and State and I will refer you into an appropriate facility near you.

Toshiba (HDTC920XR3AA) Canvio Advance 2TB Portable External Hard Drive USB 3.0, Red
plugged in to what?
does it fail on all PCs you try? testing like that solves the riddle.
on real PC does it fail on all USB ports?
read HDD do fail on old laptops with old weak USB ports 150mA max rated ports are too weak for most HDD. so that is why to test it on a modern PC with 500 to 900mA ports or more.
USB3 is best test and best results.
