It stopped booting one bad day… LED WD logo keeps blinking… I opened box… noticed when I plug in power supply, fan stays dead… I took the disk out… I bought SATA adapter… Plugged in with my laptop… My laptop asks external drives to be encrypted, which i refuse… It means atleast i should i see files inside… I see 2 volumes after connecting to laptop. Both are not accessible. Sometimes it says parameters are wrong, sometimes it says write protected… Using command prompt diskpart i went ahead change attributes to clear disk and volume readonly successfully. Still not able to access volumes. File types for both volume is RAW.
I am running out of options to try. I have good amount of data which i dont want to loose.
I want WD to up and running, if not atleast recover my data.
New development. I plugged in that disc in my old machine (Xp) and it showed me data… I did scandisk and put back in WD but no use. WD not booting. I tried earlier without disk also, then also it didnt boot. So what could be the issue?
I tried to run without HDD. Same issue. Logo keeps blinking. TV remains blank, as if no signal going to TV. I changed HDMI cable and port in TV. no luck.
