GSpeed eS 2TB won't power up

G-Technology G-SPEED & G-SAFE

I have an old GSpeed eS that I have just tried to boot up for the first time in a long time. When I hit the power switch I hear it kick the fan on and then it immediately shuts down. I can’t recall what type of power cable it requires, so I used one from an old computer monitor I had laying around. Can anyone provide info on the specs of the power cable that is required?

Or is there some other issue going on that is preventing it from powering up?

Thanks

Kenton,

The power cable is just a standard power cable PCs and monitors use. If it is powering off immediately after then it could be the power supply in the enclosure has gone out over the years. You can try other cables just in case but if it continues to behave the same way then it means the internal power supply has failed.
