The drive won’t turn on. Tried another power supply, different cables, etc. No prior sign of problems.
Is there anything to do, or is it toast/paperweight?
Thanks.
If you put your hand on top and feel movement, go to the disk utility app and check if it is recognized there. If you don’t feel anything you have a faulty drive.

There was no sign of movement, or of life of any kind. I unplugged all cables and power, had a cup of coffee, and put it all together again. The drive is now working, but should I trust it?
Thanks for your suggestions. They may yet be needed…
How is the drive connected USB or Firewire?
It is No. 3 on a firewire chain, 1ozz1.
I would backup any important files just in case. :wink: You can also use the disk utility app to run a test.
