It’s been a month that my external hard drive could not be detected in my laptop. the light still lights up when i connect it via USB cable but nothing appears on the computer. I also tried connecting it to different computers and cable and it is still not recognized… I also check it on disk managem…

These drives are pretty strong to failure. Have you tried DIFFERENT usb ports on the same machine? Have you tried to connect and then restart the pc?
